“Youba Tv” X account recently published a song video clip superimposed on a picture of the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, claiming that it was released in praise of Netanyahu, “Syrians release a song glorifying Netanyahu after he avenged the thousands of children and women killed by Hezbollah in Syria.”
Kashif verified the clip and found that it was truncated and that the claim was misleading. The clip is from the song “Free Bekeifi Free – From My Day Control” by Syrian singer Daoud Al Abdallah. The “Daoud Al Abdallah” channel on YouTube had published the song on 12/9/2023.
Khaled Al-Abdullah, business manager of Syrian singer Daoud Al-Abdullah, denied the claim to Kashif and confirmed that Daoud Al-Abdullah is a popular singer, and that all his songs are not associated with any political figure.
Kashif had previously verified misleading videos published by accounts on social media platforms, which claimed to document Syrians’ celebrations after the pager device bombings in Lebanon.
