Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed the conspiracy theorists who are blaming Israel for the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk, dubbing the online rumours 'absurd'.
Less than an hour after news broke of the conservative influencer's death in hospital, dozens of tweets were published on X blaming the Jewish state for the killing.
'Israel are 1000% behind the death of Charlie Kirk, this has Mossad written all over it,' one person wrote, referring to the Israeli intelligence agency. 'Mossad hit job!' another said. 
Kirk was participating in a 'Prove Me Wrong' debate at Utah Valley University when he was fatally shot
The 31-year-old conservative activist and media personality was shot in the neck while speaking at an outdoor event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, just after beginning a Q&A session in front of around 3,000 students and supporters.
Security rushed him from the stage, and he was transported to Timpanogos Regional Hospital in Orem, where he was later pronounced dead. Meanwhile, the shooter was caught on camera dashing across a rooftop in the moments after he opened fire.
Before long, a string of conspiracy theories began circulating around Kirk's death, with some blaming Israel for the shooting.
Speaking on Newsmax, the Israeli leader dismissed the rumours as not only ridiculous, but promoting anti-Jewish hatred.
'That's insane. Israel also changes the orbit of the moon, Israel pushes the sun,' Netanyahu said sarcastically.
