Claim: Donald Trump criticised the acts of Israel by stating "May Allah awaken the people and help them to see the evil doings of Israel and the United States."
Fact-check: An old and unrelated video is falsely shared as Donald Trump criticising Israel - FACTLY
Verdict: this speech was delivered by donald trump in 2019 at a campaign rally in minneapolis. trump criticised ilhan omar, the u.s. representative for minnesota's 5th congressional district, quoting her tweet posted in 2012 stating, omar wrote that israel has hypnotized the world. may allah awaken the people and help them to see the evil doings of israel and the united states. how do you have such a person representing you in minnesota? his speech was trimmed between the time stamps 1:08:17 and 1:08:29 and shared out of context on social media. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
