In a video that quickly went viral yesterday, Benjamin Netanyahu mocked the rumors and propaganda from the Iranian regime that claimed he had been killed.
With characteristic sarcasm, he made clear he was very much alive—and then turned the moment into something more serious: a reflection on Israeli resilience.
For more than two and a half years which started by the 10/7 massacres, Israelis have faced relentless threats, attacks, and hatred from across the region.
The hostility has not only come from Iran and its proxies, but also from a wave of loud anti-Israel rhetoric amplified in parts of the Western world. The latest example came at the Oscars, where actor Javier Bardem amplified the now familiar chorus condemning Israel from a comfortable stage thousands of miles from the reality Israelis face daily.
