Benjamin Netanyahu: AI-generated videos fuel global speculation over Israeli PM’s whereabouts
Total darkness regarding Netanyahu's fate: Revolutionary Guards search for him, his office issues denials, but artificial intelligence "betrays" his absence

A wave of global concern and a frenzy of rumors have been sparked by the mysterious absence of Benjamin Netanyahu from the public eye over the past few weeks. Since last week, three videos of Netanyahu, clearly generated by AI, have come to light, while his son, Yair Netanyahu, has remained in absolute silence since March 8. At the same time, the Israeli Prime Minister himself is conspicuously absent from critical security meetings with his associates and allies. However, one of the strongest signs that Netanyahu may no longer be with us is the complete absence of any scheduled appointments or discussions with world leaders—not even with Donald Trump. Not a single one.

AI-generated

The rumors were fueled primarily by artificial intelligence videos published on behalf of Israel. The involvement of Mossad and the disinformation strategy behind details such as the "sixth finger" and the... "solid coffee" have been exposed, various analysts note. Professor of Digital Communication Dr. Ali Murat Kırık, who analyzed the video during a live broadcast on A Haber, pointed out the AI errors and stated: "I believe they leaked it intentionally. This is purely disinformation and an attempt at manipulation."

Israel released videos that raised suspicions instead of... silencing critics

Following claims that he was dead, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted a video yesterday, March 15, which social media users subsequently claimed was created with the help of artificial intelligence. Today, March 16, he posted another video on his account to prove he is alive. Netanyahu shared a 90-second video in which he appears to be at an observation point in the Jerusalem Hills.

 

In the video, he is wearing the same clothes as in yesterday's footage, leading to the belief that this video was also filmed on March 15.

"A world is being created where you won't believe it even if you see it with your eyes and hear it with your ears," stated Dr. Kırık, highlighting the dangerous dimensions that AI has taken today. "A virtual world is beginning to emerge. We have already explained the threats and risks of artificial intelligence thousands of times. This incident has emerged as a case that must be examined." The expert, pointing to the serious disinformation behind the images, explained the technical background: "There are three images here. One is in front of a blue screen, and the second is with a coffee mug. These are virtual images created by transferring data from one point to another via the internet."1_1530.JPG

The expert who analyzed the contradictions in Netanyahu's speech video stated: "The flags are static; they are not real. We see that the background is completely 'Greenbox' (green screen). Because proper lighting was not used, digital distortions appear between the background and the person. Due to the low resolution of the image, the distortions are more pronounced, particularly in moving shots. Thus, the appearance of a sixth finger on the hand is created." Dr. Ali Murat Kırık, emphasizing that the image is not entirely fake but contains significant fabrications, stated: "This image is 98% real, with 2% artificial intelligence. We can say it is neither purely real nor purely AI."

"Sinister Mossad plan and agenda diversion"

Dr. Kırık pointed out that Mossad may have a reason for publishing this image. "They may have released it to manipulate things as they wish behind the scenes. While people are discussing whether he is alive or dead, much more sinister plans may be being constructed behind their backs," he noted. The expert revealed the strategy with his words: "Just when the 'is he dead or alive' debate is happening, images of him drinking coffee are suddenly circulated."

"A piece of reality, a piece of Artificial Intelligence"

Commenting on the technical data of the coffee video, Dr. Kırık stated: "In this image, we detected 94% reality and 6% artificial intelligence. AI uses a coding language, 'Python', to create images. Whether the mug moved or spilled, this could be due to an optical illusion or digital fabrication. However, what we must note are the logical errors, such as the fact that the coffee did not spill, despite such a large movement of the mug."

Details that contradict the laws of physics

Dr. Kırık, who technically evaluated the images, added: "It is very difficult to explain this technically. Normally, when you tilt the glass, it should spill, but when the volume of the glass is structurally connected—that is, when there is layer interference—spilling may not occur." When watching the fast version of the video, he highlighted the contradictions in the image, saying: "Look, he took the glass, but it doesn't appear to have spilled. However, the angle may mislead us. Also, he drank the coffee, but it didn't decrease; there is something on his lips."3_638.JPG

"Netanyahu wouldn't be so relaxed in a cafe"

Pointing out Netanyahu's meticulousness regarding his security, Dr. Kırık said: "Netanyahu is the type of person who even closes the cameras on his mobile phone. I don't believe someone like him would be so relaxed drinking coffee in a cafe. Perhaps there is a security breach, and he is pretending to drink it but actually isn't."

The Face Swap method and more 'sophisticated' AI

Dr. Kırık, noting that a video similar to Netanyahu's had also been made for the Iranian leader Khamenei, analyzed the two videos side-by-side. The expert stated: "This is clearly an image created with artificial intelligence. They put the Khamenei video under the Netanyahu video and said 'Look, this is AI.'

 

Here, a system called 'Face Swap' is used—another image has been placed over the image of the person's face. The hand movements, gestures, and facial expressions are exactly the same; only the faces have changed," revealing the extent of the manipulation.

 

"Sinister digital manipulation campaign"

Dr. Kırık, who also referred to AI errors, warned viewers about digital manipulation: "I believe they leaked it intentionally. The AI made a mistake while creating the sign on the mug. It distorted the 'F' in 'Sataf Cafe'. If you ask Google, it might say 'it is not AI' because different models are used to prepare these images. This is purely a campaign of disinformation and manipulation of public opinion."
