A new video showing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordering coffee at a Jerusalem café has sparked widespread debate on social media. Many users claimed the clip was generated using artificial intelligence. The controversy follows earlier speculation about Netanyahu’s safety after another video appeared to show him with six fingers on one hand. The latest video was posted on the prime minister’s official X account, apparently mocking rumors of his death.

The AI chatbot Groq, responding to a user query on X, asserted that the video was AI-generated and described it as a deepfake with no real-world basis. Several social media users also questioned the video’s authenticity, pointing to visual inconsistencies such as the coffee cup’s movement and changes in Netanyahu’s facial shape. Groq reiterated its claim, calling the video a “100% confirmed advanced AI deepfake.”

However, the café identified as the filming location, The Sataf in Jerusalem, posted photos on Instagram showing Netanyahu drinking coffee there, stating they were honored to host the prime minister and his staff.
