Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted a video of himself getting a cup of coffee and chatting with his aide on Sunday, after rumours that he was dead or injured were aired by Iranian state media and spread online in Iran.
In the video, taken at a cafe in Jerusalem’s outskirts and posted on Netanyahu’s Telegram account, his aide asks him about the rumours.
Netanyahu responds with a pun on the word dead — which in Hebrew slang can be used to describe “being crazy about” someone or something — as he reaches for a cup of coffee. “I’m crazy about coffee. You know what? I’m crazy about my people,” Netanyahu tells the aide.
