They say What? — Benjamin Netanyahu Mocks Ass£ssin£tion Rumors as Iran Thr£atens Him

Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed rumors about his death with humor following threats reportedly linked to rising tensions with Iran.

In a video circulating online, the Israeli leader was seen standing at a coffee shop where he joked about the false claims surrounding his death.

Reacting to the rumors, Netanyahu could be heard saying while ordering coffee:
“They say I’m what? Watch this…I am dead… for coffee”

He continued the lighthearted moment by joking about the rumor using a common Hebrew expression often used to describe strong affection.

“I love my nation to death” he added.

During the clip, Netanyahu also held up all ten fingers to the camera, seemingly addressing claims circulating online that his recent conference appearance was actually an artificial intelligence version of him.

Despite the humor, the Israeli leader also delivered a serious message to citizens as tensions in the region continue to rise.

In the video, he advised Israelis to step outside for a “breath of fresh air” if possible but warned them to remain close to shelters as Iran increases its strikes.

Netanyahu also assured citizens that restrictions placed on activities across the country would be lifted as soon as conditions improve.

“Your support is amazing—it empowers me, the government, the IDF,” he said.

He further stated: “We’re doing things I can’t share now, but very strong operations in Iran & Lebanon today too.”

Addressing the public directly, he added:
“To everyone: keep following Home Front Command orders at all times.

“Even heads of state—star always near a protected room. We’ll do our best.”

Before ending the clip, Netanyahu returned to his earlier joke about the coffee he had ordered.

Joking, he added: “Thanks for the coffee. I don’t know about calories… this looks dangerous for me.”

After Benjamin Netanyahu posted a video showing he is not dead yet, people are now speculating about why his coffee cup, which was filled to the brim, did not spill when he lifted it.
