A sudden video of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu inside a cafe in Tel Aviv has set the internet on fire, but not for the reason you might think. The clip surfaced online just as wild rumours about Netanyahu’s alleged assassination began spreading across social media platforms. Within hours, the cafe footage was being circulated by Bibi himself as “proof” that he was alive and well. But the moment the video went viral, a new twist emerged, claims that the clip itself might actually be an AI-generated deepfake. Discussions intensified after Grok, the AI chatbot available on X, weighed in.

A storm of rumours exploded across social media after reports of Iranian missile and drone strikes triggered speculation about the safety of several Israeli leaders. Among the names circulating online was Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, with claims ranging from injuries to assassination attempts. The speculation intensified as online users began questioning the silence from official channels, even tagging Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok for answers. But the bot offered no clarity, fueling even more conspiracy theories and debate across X.
