Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has released a video on X refuting conspiracies around his death, triggered on social media after his earlier video went viral.

In the fresh video, Netanyahu could be seen ordering coffee at a cafe. Mentioning his death rumours, he jokes by saying, " I am dead... for coffee".

"You know what? I'm “dying” for my people. How they are behaving is fantastic," he could be heard adding after that.

Netanyahu also raised both his hands to show his fingers. He said, "Do you want to count my fingers? You can see them here… and here. See? Very nice."

Earlier on Thursday, he held a press conference, a video of which went viral on social media. Some of the users suggested that the video showed him with six fingers on one of his hands.
