    Prime Minister of Israel account on X (@IsraelPM):

    “Rumours circulating on social media about PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s status are UNCONFIRMED. We urge citizens to rely on verified updates. Efforts are underway to establish contact. PM Netanyahu remains committed to Israel’s security”

    This was posted and promptly deleted… Very weird post. UNCONFIRMED? You haven’t confirmed the status of the PM? What do you make of this?

    Extremely weird post. They capitalized UNCONFIRMED. I bolted the part about underway efforts.

      I realise it may be slightly insensitive to the Muslims amongst us, but I have an expensive bottle of champagne that will be getting promptly deployed the second this becomes CONFIRMED.

        Best to remain skeptical for now. There’s a lot of rumours flying around. The post might be fake, or the result of a hack, or simply a misunderstanding among staff. We’ll eventually find out I guess.
