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. The chatbot initially avoided commenting on the authenticity of the footage before later suggesting that the clip could be an “advanced AI deepfake.” WATCH
