Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted a video on his X account this evening (Tuesday), from a meeting he had with US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee.

In the documentary, the two mock Iranian attempts to spread rumors that the prime minister is no longer alive.

""Prime Minister, I want you to know that the president asked me to come and make sure you're okay," Huckabee says with a smile, and Netanyahu replies: "Yes, Mike, I'm alive.".

Huckabee added: "I came to check and I'm glad to see you're okay. The president wanted to make sure you were okay, because it seems like you're doing too well...""

Netanyahu referred to the assassinations of the leaders of the Iranian regime and said: "I am alive, but I have a punch card. Today I crossed out two names from it and we can see how many more are expected to be treated. We are crossing them out.".
