Recently, two videos have gone viral on social media, purportedly showing former U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu making controversial statements about Pakistan.
The release of these videos sparked widespread concern among the general public, while serious observers condemned the statements. In response, a fact-check was conducted to verify the authenticity of these videos, and the following findings emerged:
Claim:
Trump advised Pakistan to stay out of the Iran-Israel conflict
In one widely circulated video, Donald Trump appears to say: “Pakistan should not interfere in the Israel-Iran conflict.” He also seemingly states that Pakistan is on alert with its military power and that Khawaja Asif (a Pakistani politician) has issued a threat to Israel.
Fact:
The video is artificially generated using AI.
Why AI? If you closely examine the video, Trump’s facial expressions appear unnatural, his voice has a robotic tone, and there’s a noticeable mismatch in lip-sync and speech delivery.
Timeline mismatch: The footage used in the video is from May 30, 2025, whereas the Iran-Israel conflict began on June 13—making the timeline inconsistent.
No credible source: There is no record in U.S. media of Trump making any such statement. Therefore, the claim that he issued a directive to Pakistan regarding the ongoing conflict is completely false.
Claim:
Netanyahu threatens Pakistan with a nuclear strike
Another viral video allegedly shows Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu saying: “We must prevent Iran and Pakistan from obtaining nuclear weapons.”
Fact:
Like the Trump video, this one is also misleading.
An old clip from 14 years ago: The video is actually from 2011 when Netanyahu stated in an interview that if the Taliban were to take control of Pakistan, the nuclear threat would increase. He did not directly threaten Pakistan.
Misleading context: The part of the original interview referring to the Taliban’s potential takeover was edited out in the viral clip, giving the false impression that Netanyahu made a recent hostile statement about Pakistan.
Conclusion:
Both videos circulating on social media are fake or misleading. Trump has not issued any instructions to Pakistan regarding the current conflict, and Netanyahu has not recently threatened Pakistan.
Users are strongly advised to verify such content before sharing it online.
