Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video statement addressing rumors surrounding the death of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. In the message, Netanyahu firmly rejected claims that Israel was responsible.

“Charlie Kirk was a great man. He deserves honor – not lies,” Netanyahu said, stressing that misinformation is spreading rapidly and unfairly linking Israel to the tragedy.

The Prime Minister highlighted Kirk’s influence as a public figure and called for truth and respect in honoring his memory. Israeli officials have also urged the public and media outlets to rely on verified sources, warning against the dangers of disinformation in moments of grief and global attention.

The statement comes amid heightened tensions, where false narratives often circulate quickly online. Netanyahu reaffirmed Israel’s commitment to transparency while urging international audiences to reject baseless accusations.
