- A Facebook user published a post claiming that Israel’s Minister of Justice, Yariv Levin, has been named Interim Prime Minister, replacing Netanyahu.
This claim spread a few days after widespread reports falsely alleged that Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, had died following an attack in Israel, although he is still alive.
Verdict: False
After a thorough investigation, JamiiCheck found no evidence to support the claim that Israel has appointed a new Prime Minister to replace Netanyahu.
Yariv Levin is a senior Israeli lawmaker from the Likud Party and currently serves as the country’s Minister of Justice and Deputy Prime Minister. He has previously held several key positions, including Speaker of the Knesset, Minister of Aliyah and Integration, Minister of Tourism, and Minister of Public Security.
As of the time of writing this report, Netanyahu remains the Prime Minister of Israel. On March 18, 2026, he also posted on his official X (formerly Twitter) account that:
"I'm here with Israel's Defense Minister, our Chief of Staff, the head of the Mossad, the Chief of Air Force, our senior commanders. In the past 24 hours, we knocked out two of the terrorist chieftains, the top terrorist chieftains of this tyranny.
Our aircraft are hitting the terror operatives on the grounds, in the crossroads, in the city squares. This is meant to enable the brave people of Iran to celebrate the Festival of Fire.
So celebrate and Happy Nowruz. We're watching from above."
