Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has strongly rejected claims suggesting Israel’s involvement in the assassination of U.S. conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
In a video statement released Thursday, Netanyahu condemned the circulating rumors as “disgusting,” “false,” and “outrageous,” stressing that Israel had no reason to target Kirk, whom he described as a steadfast ally of the Jewish state.
“This is insane. It is false. It is outrageous,” Netanyahu said. “Charlie Kirk was a giant, a once-in-a-century talent, who defended freedom, defended America, and defended our common Judeo-Christian civilization.”
Netanyahu highlighted Kirk’s long-standing support for Israel and the Jewish people, noting that the activist’s advocacy was rooted in genuine conviction. He revealed that just months ago, he had received a letter from Kirk expressing joy in advocating for Israel and building Christian-Jewish alliances to protect shared values.
“Charlie loved Israel. He loved the Jewish people,” Netanyahu emphasized. “His suggestions always came from the heart, from his love for Israel and from his love for the Jewish people.”
The Israeli leader’s comments come as speculation and misinformation surrounding Kirk’s killing continue to spread online. Netanyahu’s statement seeks to reaffirm Israel’s stance while honoring Kirk’s legacy as a vocal defender of Judeo-Christian values and a close friend of Israel.
