Benjamin Netanyahu is struggling to prove he’s not an AI clone

Social media is spreading conspiracy theories that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been replaced by deepfakes (AI-generated fake videos or images that look real), pointing to supposed errors like extra fingers in videos as evidence.
