Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sparked fresh speculation online after sharing a new video on Monday. The video, which has gone viral, shows him meeting and talking to locals. However, many viewers were surprised after they noticed a ring on his finger disappearing as he moved his arm.
This comes after days of rumours that claimed that the Israeli PM was dead. This further intensified after some users claimed Netanyahu appeared to have six fingers in a previous televised address, leading to accusations that the footage was edited.
As the “death theory” exploded in the comment section, Netanyahu shared a video showing him ordering a coffee at a roadside mini-market. He took a dig at viral claims, asking: “You want to count the number of fingers. You can show us here and here. You saw!" However, it sparked discussion after Grok responded to a user's query claiming the video is AI-generated.
Netizens Point Out At 'Disappearing' Ring
Now, in the new 91-second video, Netanyahu is seen walking around Jerusalem, talking with locals and observing the surroundings, but the “disappearing ring” has again caught the attention of netizens. Some users even slowed down the video to highlight the ring disappearing from his fingers as he moved his arms. A user wrote on X, “BREAKING: WHY DOES NETANYAHU’S RING DISAPPEAR AS HE MOVES HIS ARM… Is this also AI??” Another said, “I slowed it down frame by frame! Benjamin Netanyahu’s ring seems to just disappear while he is moving his hand. This is 100% real footage that I screen-recorded directly from the video he posted today. Starting to freak me out.”
A third user asked Grok, “Is this Ai generated as there seems to be 2 frames and the ring disappears?”
While the video has left netizens stunned, Netanyahu is seen speaking and enjoying time with locals in the clip. “How beautiful. Thank you very much. Thank you. Good. Let’s soak up some sun,” he said.
