00:00We are at war with Hezbollah. In just the last few weeks, our heroic soldiers have eliminated over 600 terrorists.
00:07I want you to know this. Over 600 terrorists. But we are not taking our foot off the gas.
00:13On the contrary, I said to press the pedal even harder.
00:17We will strike them. Atana, true. They are firing drones at us, fiber optic drones.
00:22We have a special team working on this and we will solve that too.
00:25Meanwhile, you are showing resilience. I want to commend the residents of the north.
00:29A resilience that inspires us all.
00:31But what this requires of us now is to increase the strikes, to increase the intensity.
00:36We will strike them hip and thigh.
00:45Israel is scrambling to contain new questions about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's health
00:50after reports claimed he was rushed to a Jerusalem hospital.
00:54As usual, Netanyahu's office is calling it a routine doctor visit.
00:59But Hebrew media reports say he was admitted to the hospital before the government publicly acknowledged anything.
01:06And now, the same question is coming back again.
01:10Is Israel hiding something about Netanyahu's health?
01:13Because tonight, this is no longer just about one hospital visit.
01:17It is about a pattern.
01:19And that pattern is raising serious questions.
01:22Here's what we know.
01:24Netanyahu was taken to Hadassah-ein Kara Medical Center in Jerusalem on Monday evening.
01:29At first, there was complete silence from his office.
01:33No statement.
01:34No public disclosure.
01:35Nothing.
01:36Only after Israeli media broke the story did Netanyahu's office finally respond.
01:41And the explanation they gave was simple.
01:43Dental treatment.
01:44That's it.
01:46A routine dental procedure at one of Israel's most advanced hospitals in the middle of a war.
01:52But here's why many people are not convinced.
01:54This is the same hospital where Netanyahu reportedly underwent treatment last month for a malignant prostate tumor.
02:01According to reports, that diagnosis was never publicly disclosed when it happened.
02:06The information only became public after leaks forced confirmation.
02:10And critics now say this same pattern is repeating itself.
02:14Silence first.
02:15Explanation later.
02:16And only after media pressure builds.
02:19But the hospital visit is only part of the controversy.
02:22During the height of the Israel-Iran conflict, Netanyahu was largely absent from public view for long stretches of time.
02:29That triggered a wave of online speculation.
02:31Viral claims began spreading that Netanyahu was seriously ill or even dead.
02:36Some social media users went even further, accusing Israel of using AI-generated videos to create the appearance of normal
02:43leadership.
02:44One wartime video of Netanyahu went viral after users claimed his hand appeared to show six fingers, something often linked
02:50online to AI image generation errors.
02:52Then another video surfaced showing Netanyahu at a coffee shop.
02:56Supporters called it proof he was alive and healthy.
02:59Critics dismissed that video as fake too.
03:01Israel's government has strongly rejected all of these claims.
03:05The Prime Minister's office insists the latest hospital visit was routine and says there is nothing unusual about Netanyahu's condition.
03:11But critics argue the government's credibility has already been damaged.
03:15Because they initially downplayed previous medical reports as well, until more information emerged publicly.
03:20And now, every new hospital visit is being viewed through that lens of distrust.
03:25Whether Netanyahu is seriously ill or not, the bigger issue may now be public confidence.
03:29Because in the middle of war and regional instability, questions about the health of Israel's leader are becoming impossible to
03:36ignore.
03:36And with every delayed disclosure, the speculation only grows louder.
