Netanyahu Posts Video in Response to Iran Rumours That He Is Dead

JERUSALEM, March 15 (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin ⁠Netanyahu ⁠posted a video of ⁠himself getting a cup of coffee and chatting with ​his aide on Sunday, after rumours that he was dead or injured were ‌aired by Iranian state media ‌and spread online in Iran.

In the video, taken at a ⁠cafe in ⁠Jerusalem's outskirts and posted on Netanyahu's Telegram account, his aide ​asks him about the rumours.

Netanyahu responds with a pun on the word dead -- which in Hebrew slang can be used to describe "being crazy about" someone or ​something -- as he reaches for a cup of coffee.

"I'm crazy about coffee. ⁠You ⁠know what? I’m crazy ⁠about my ​people," Netanyahu tells the aide.

Reuters verified the video's location from file imagery ​of the cafe, which ⁠matched the interiors seen in the video. The date was verified from multiple videos and photos of Netanyahu's visit posted by the cafe on Sunday.

Since the U.S. and Israel launched attacks on Iran on February 28, ⁠Netanyahu has visited at least two towns hit by Iranian missiles, ⁠a hospital, port and military bases, but there was little to no media access, and videos were distributed by his office.

Netanyahu, who rarely gives interviews to Israeli press or holds news conferences, convened his first press conference since the start of the war via a video link on Thursday, a similar format to the one he used in June during Israel's 12-day war with ⁠Iran.

Emergency safety restrictions in Israel since the start of the war ban public gatherings and have kept most people at home or close to shelters and safe rooms, with schools shut across most ​of the country.

For some reason this reminds me of the democrats claiming Trump has demential while telling us that Biden is/was just fine.

But if I were one of Netanyahu’s aides, I’d have advised him to post a picture of his head on a piece of cardboard and have a woman read his statement that he was alive.

Iran putting out alleged memos kinds of fake reports and IA over the internet.
They’re desperate…..US democrats are probably in on it with them.
US democrats on Iran’s side are enemy combatants and should be either deported or thrown in prison.
Start with Omar, Tlaib and the Mamdani terrorist sympathizers!
