No, 5-year-old video shared falsely"},"content":{"rendered":"

A video of a man being forcibly removed from the stage in front of onlookers at a mosque has been gathering a lot of traction on social media. Many users shared the clip and claimed that it was from Saudi Arabia where a cleric who spoke about the war with Israel was arrested. Along with this, it is also being claimed that Saudi Arabia and Jordan were now protecting and helping Israel, more actively than the United States. Many users also suggested that the Saudi police had detained an imam for urging Arab leaders to stand in support of the people in Gaza and because he made this appeal from the pulpit of the mosque.<\/span><\/p>\n

While sharing the video, a handle named Megatron claimed that the video portrayed an Imam who had spoken about the war with Israel and was arrested in Saudi Arabia. (<\/span>Archived link<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n
