Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video on X denying any involvement of Israel in the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was fatally shot on September 10, 2025, in Phoenix, Arizona.
Netanyahu labeled the conspiracy theories linking Israel to Kirk's death as a "monstrous big lie," invoking Nazi propaganda tactics to discredit the rumors.
The denial comes amidst a backdrop of intense online speculation and discussions, with some users questioning the necessity of such a strong rebuttal from the Israeli leader.
Authorities have identified 22-year-old Tyler Robinson as the lone suspect in Kirk's murder, with no evidence suggesting foreign connections or a disclosed motive, yet the rumors persist.
Netanyahu's video also highlighted Kirk's support for Israel, mentioning a personal letter from Kirk and suggesting that the rumors might stem from obsession or Qatari funding.
