While the claim of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's death remains in the spotlight, images taken at a café were shared yesterday from his official social media account. The video shared raised new questions instead of refuting the claims. It was revealed that the images of Netanyahu, taken with his masked bodyguards at Sataf Cafe, which he visited during the corona period, were recreated using artificial intelligence, and it did not go unnoticed that the date on the cash register screen showed March 15, 2024.
In the days when the war between the US-Israel and Iran entered its third week, the allegations against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu created a significant stir in the international agenda.
THE NETANYAHU PUZZLE
As rumors spread rapidly on social media that Netanyahu had died or was seriously injured in the Iranian attacks, the lack of a direct statement from the Israeli government further fueled the discussions.
CAFE IMAGES RAISE NEW QUESTIONS
Following the allegations, a video was shared from Netanyahu's official social media account. The footage shows Netanyahu sitting in a cafe surrounded by his bodyguards. However, instead of clearly refuting the allegations, the video raised new questions.
THE CAFE HE VISITED DURING THE PANDEMIC
Analyses on social media claimed that the images resembled footage taken at Sataf Cafe, which Netanyahu had visited in the past. It is noted that this location is one of the places Netanyahu visited during the coronavirus period.
DETAIL IN THE CASH REGISTER CAUGHT ATTENTION
Some details in the video also sparked debate. The date displayed on the screen in the cash register was noted to be March 15, 2024. This situation strengthened claims that the video was not current or was recreated from different footage.
AI CLAIM
Some social media users and analysis accounts suggested that the images might have been recreated using artificial intelligence technology. Claims were shared that especially Netanyahu's facial expressions and the details in the background resembled artificial images.
COFFEE DETAIL DID NOT GO UNNOTICED
A detail that emerged while Netanyahu was drinking coffee in the footage also caught attention. Netanyahu takes a sip of his coffee, and suddenly brown marks appear on his lips, then disappear in one frame. The Israeli government and Netanyahu's office have not yet made a detailed statement regarding the authenticity of the video.
THE APP ALSO SAYS "ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE"
A popular artificial intelligence detection application claimed that the video shared by Netanyahu was 96.9% likely to be generated by artificial intelligence and not real.
DISPUTES ARE HEATING UP
According to experts, the ongoing war between Iran and Israel is intensifying not only on the military front but also in the fields of information and propaganda. The sharing of different claims and images by both sides on social media increases information pollution. The lack of a clear statement from official authorities regarding Netanyahu's health status and the accuracy of the claims continues to fuel the discussions.
