New Delhi, March 15 Israeli Ambassador to India, Reuven Azar, on Monday dismissed rumors about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's death amid the ongoing conflict in West Asia, stating that "Prime Minister Netanyahu is alive."
Speaking to reporters in Delhi, he also said a video of Netanyahu's visit to a cafe in Israel was not "AI-generated," dismissing the claim as the spread of "disinformation."
The rebuttal from Israel's top diplomat in India comes against the backdrop of several social media posts claiming that Netanyahu sustained fatal injuries during the conflict in West Asia, which entered its 17th day on Monday.

He also accused Iran and its "accomplices" of spreading disinformation.
