Amid escalating tensions in West Asia, Israeli Ambassador to India, Reuven Azar, dispelled rumors surrounding the death of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

During a press briefing in Delhi, Azar affirmed Netanyahu's well-being, countering claims of AI-fabricated videos and attributing disinformation campaigns to Iran and its accomplices.

Netanyahu personally addressed the misinformation by releasing a video of his public coffee run, sarcastically dismissing the death rumors circulating on social media. The incident underscores the ongoing challenge of countering false narratives during international conflicts.
