Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has become the focus of a new online storm after a short video clip of him speaking during the Israel–Iran crisis sparked 'clone' theories, with some users insisting an apparent 'extra finger' proves the footage is fake.
The claims, centred on the idea that a Benjamin Netanyahu clone or AI-generated double is addressing the public instead of the real leader, first erupted on social media in mid‑March and have since spread into conspiracy forums and partisan news channels.
