Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, on Sunday posted video of himself taking coffee in a cafe, dismissing rumours that he has been killed by Iranian forces.

Mr Netanyahu posted a proof of life video on his X page on Sunday amid rumours circulating on social media that he had been assassinated by Iranian forces.

“I’m dead for coffee,” Mr Netanyahu said sarcastically in Hebrew as he received a cup at a cafe.

Responding to a viral AI generated video of him with fingers, Mr Netanyahu displayed his five fingers, asking “Do you want to count the number of fingers?” 

Meanwhile, Iran Revolutionary Guards has issued a threat to assassinate the Israeli Prime minister amid lingering war between Israel and Iran. 

On February 28, U.S. and Israeli forces launched Operation Epic Fury attack on Iran, killings the Islamic Republic’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei and top Iranian officials.
