Benjamin Netanyahu has denied “disgusting” rumours linking Charlie Kirk’s death to Israel.
Speaking on Thursday (18 September), the Israeli Prime Minister countered conspiracy theories that his government had a hand in the assassination of the 31-year-old, who was killed in Utah on 10 September.
“Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi propaganda minister, said that the bigger the lie, the faster it will spread. Somebody has fabricated a monstrous big lie — that Israel had something to do with Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder. This is insane, it is false, it is outrageous.”
He said “once-in-a-century talent” Kirk was a lover of Israel, which Netanyahu said he declared in a letter to him sent a few months ago.
His comments come after MAGA commentators have claimed Kirk was privately far more critical of the Israeli government than he let on publicly.
