Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed false reports of his death with a video posted on Sunday, March 15, 2026. The reports, originating from Iranian state media, prompted the Prime Minister to publicly demonstrate his well-being.
The video, filmed at a café near Jerusalem, shows Netanyahu enjoying a coffee and speaking with an aide. When questioned about the rumors, Netanyahu responded with a playful remark in Hebrew, utilizing a colloquialism that translates to being “crazy for” something – in this case, both coffee and his people.
“I’m crazy for coffee. You know what? I’m crazy about my people,” Netanyahu said to his advisor.

Reuters verified the video’s location by comparing it to images of the café, and confirmed the date through multiple posts from the establishment and Netanyahu’s account.
Since the launch of joint U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iran on February 28, Netanyahu has visited areas impacted by Iranian missile strikes, including a hospital, port, and military bases. However, media access has been limited, with his office releasing footage of these visits.
Netanyahu, who rarely grants interviews to Israeli media or holds press conferences, conducted a video conference on Thursday, a format he likewise used during Israel’s 12-day conflict with Iran in June.
Emergency security restrictions currently in place across Israel, stemming from the ongoing conflict, have limited public gatherings, leading to school closures and encouraging citizens to remain near shelters.
