One of the very common techniques to "keep someone alive" is to use old stock photos. Seeing a picture of the person is enough reinforcement, the most gentle of nudges, because that's really all it takes. For example, that Reuters article includes a photo captioned:
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gestures as he speaks during the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organisations, in Jerusalem, February 15, 2026."
Does anyone really give a rat's ass what he was doing a month ago?
True but doesn't apply since the contemporary video is the new offering and doesn't appear problematic prima facie.
A few photos of Netanyahu in Ashdod on the 10th were released. Do you think Reuters reporting a press conference and a separate set of new photos are all staged? It's not impossible, which is why I ask; but it seem Iran is doing the greater bobbing and weaving in this picture.
