Do we believe the Netanyahu rumors?

Rumors are flying that Netanyahu has been un-alived. Multiple videos of him speaking are obvious Al as he is seen in multiple videos with six fingers on his hands. He did speak surrounded by what appeared to be some rubble, talking to IDF soldiers in generic looking uniforms but it was not covered by any foreign media as far as I'm aware.
Unless I overlooked it he has not appeared at a live event in front of foreign media in days.

Do you all believe the official narrative he is alive?

the US and the entire ME region. His corruption, Trump-level megalomania and Trump-manipulation has brought nothing good to any of us. And, no, I am not defending Iran's Ayatollahs vis-a-vis Israel--something that should be quite obvious.

If the rumors turn out to be true, I can't say I'll be sad about it.

Weekend at Benny's can be likt Weekend at Bernie's. With help, he can still sign stuff, push buttons, etc.

Longer term, he'll start to stink like Trump.

At a live event. This is weak, "casual video at coffee shop" is about as weak as you can get as evidence. Especially if you know how good Al video is with things like Nana Banana.

I'll believe it when he does a live event event in front of multiple countries news outlets like any other world leader does.

I mean issuing yet another pre-recorded video from his office only adds more fuel to the speculation than it does to help.

And that in a few days, he'll come out of hiding with a press conference.
