AMid growing venture around Israeli undercoat government minister Benjamin Netanyahu's fate even out as he has sought-after(a) to quell rumours of death, Israeli ambassador to India, Reuven Azar, has said that he “saw him personally” more than once during his visit to Israel.“Prime Minister Netanyahu is alive. I saw him personally when I was in Israel more than once,” Azar said, but didn't specify when he visited the country. He also refuted claims of a clip shared by the Israeli PM on X being fake or AI-generated.A video was posted on Netanyahu's X account on Sunday (India time) in which he could be seen holding a cup of coffee and speaking directly at the camera. “They say I'm what? Watch,” the caption of the post read. However, the internet was not convinced and most comments on the post either claimed or wondered if the video was AI-generated. What further fuelled this speculation was a response by X chatbot Grok, which said that the clip appeared to be AI-generated and that there was no record of such a real-life event.Also Read: Iran launches Sejjil missile for first time in war against US, Israel: 5 key things to knowHowever, the Israeli envoy to India rubbished this suggestion during a media interaction in New Delhi on Monday. “This video at the cafe is not AI-fabricated.
