A video claiming to show Donald Trump’s reaction to the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniya is doing the rounds on social media. “He was a ruthless and cruel terrorist who gave only death and suffering to this world. But he himself died a terrible death. He will never be able to harm any innocent man, woman or child again. He died a cowardly death like a dog. With his death, this world now seems a safer place than before. He was a vile and extremely vile person … he died crying and running away like a coward.” Many users claim the video to be true.
A Facebook user posted the viral post (archive link) with the following caption:
इस्माइल हानिया कुत्ते की मौत मारा गया। अब वह फिर कभी किसी निर्दोष लड़कियों लड़कों में महिलाओं को नहीं मार सकता और आगे आतंकवादी इससे बुरा हाल देखेंगे:- डोनाल्ड ट्रंप (English version: See below.👇)

FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the viral post, and found it to be false.
Running a keyword search about Trump’s speech, the NM team identified a YouTube video on the official channel of the US Department of State. As per the video description, the then President Trump’s statement on the death of Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi at the White House, on October 27, 2019.
We found the same speech on the official channel of the Washington Post as well. In his address, Trump had informed that Baghdadi was killed in an attack carried out by US Special Operations Forces in northwestern Syria. This confirms that the video has nothing to do with the recent killing of Haniya.
Therefore, we can conclusively say that the viral post, claiming to show Trump’s reaction to Ismail Haniya’s death, is false.
