From a Viral Barista to the Oscars: Israel Is Winning the PR War but Can't Stop Now

Netanyahu posted at least seven 'proof of life' videos and photos amid widespread online rumors and conspiracy theories about his death, with some content questioned for authenticity.

  • The Israeli leader posted another clip featuring US Ambassador Mike Huckabee to show he is alive, part of at least seven recent 'proof of life' posts from Netanyahu's team.
  • Amid widespread online rumours, social media users spread speculation and conspiracy theories, while some proof-of-life posts show manipulation, complicating verification.
  • The Canary reports Israel used AI tools like Lavender and Where's Daddy to track individuals and carry out bombings with little human oversight and a permissive casualty policy.
  • Search queries for 'Israel AI' now show speculation instead of reporting on Israel's expanding AI use in Gaza, and reporters warn people across the Middle East, especially Arabs and Persians, will suffer more.
  • While not focused on authenticity, The Canary says whether the video is real is not its main concern, even as online posters called for Netanyahu's death and blamed Zionism and Western colonialism.
