Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has categorically denied allegations that his country was involved in the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. The claims, which have circulated on social media, were dismissed by Netanyahu as “insane” and “absurd.”
“Claims that Israel killed Charlie Kirk are absurd and insane,” Netanyahu stated. “Israel also changes the orbit of the moon. Israel pushes the sun. The whole thing is not only insane, it’s so absurd, so stupid, so ridiculous you can’t believe people are saying this. But when you hate Jews, when you hate the Jewish state, you’re willing to say anything and promote these absurd rumors.”
Following confirmation of Kirk’s death, Netanyahu shared a heartfelt message on X, describing him as “a lion-hearted friend of Israel” who “fought the lies and stood tall for Judeo-Christian civilization.” He noted he had spoken to Kirk just two weeks prior and invited him to Israel, a visit that will now not occur.
Netanyahu emphasized he does not believe there is evidence linking Israel to the assassination. The article also references Alex Jones’ comments, which highlight the absence of evidence connecting Israel to the crime. Instead, Jones pointed to the “hyper violent ‘TransRage’ movement” and cited reports of anti-fascist, pro-trans messages carved into the murder weapon.
The FBI is investigating a potential “foreign component” in the assassination, with intelligence sources examining activity tied to groups in Salt Lake City and overseas operations. While no definitive links have been confirmed, officials are treating the lead seriously. The article notes that if a foreign government were involved, it could signal broader threats, urging swift action from authorities.
No further details about the assassin or motives have been disclosed at this time.
