Emerging story
A video has been circulating claiming that Kim Jong-un, the leader of North Korea, is speaking about the war on Gaza.
According to the claim, Kim Jong-un said: “Conflicts have been occurring yearly under the Biden administration. This year, a war broke out between Israel and Palestine, while last year witnessed a war between Russia and Ukraine. Additionally, two years ago, a significant amount of military equipment was left behind for the Taliban. These events have caused fear among some that if the Biden administration continues beyond the next election, it may potentially lead to the onset of World War III. The uncertainty surrounding future conflicts has led to speculation about what the next year's war might involve.”
