For the past few days the internet has been abuzz with rumors that the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was killed or injured in a missile strike. The rumors seemed to stem from Iranian State Media but recent footage showing Netanyahu in a coffee shop in Jerusalem aimed to put the rumors to bed, of course, not everyone is convinced.
A few years ago, video footage would have been enough for proof-of-life. But in this day and age that’s easy to fake with the use of photorealistic A.I. videos and that is exactly what internet conspiracy theorists believe is going on with the recent footage of Netanyahu.
