At the end of July 2024, the media and Telegram channels reported that the US presidential candidate refused to shake the hand of the Israeli Prime Minister during their recent meeting. We decided to check if this is so.
The fact that Trump allegedly ignored the hand of the Israeli prime minister extended for handshake, they wrote "Moscow Komsomolets" Pravda.ru, Sputnik, "Tsargrad"And other media and information Portals. Most of these publications were based on posts in the Telegram channels of Russian political scientists, for example Sergey Markov (33,000 views at the time of writing this analysis) and German Klintsevich (17,000). Other popular channels wrote about this: "Solovyov"(244,000),"Russia now"(224,000),"Putin in Telegram"(194,000),"Truthfulness"(188 000),"Uncle Glory"(185,000) and others. Also, the news was actively discussed by users of social networks ("VKontakte" X, Facebook) And Platform blog. Most of the publications are accompanied by a short video shot at the meeting of Trump and Netanyahu: upon completion, they get up, the Israeli Prime Minister makes a kind of hand in the direction of his visa, but the former American president simply leaves the frame.
July 22, 2024 Netanyahu He went On an official visit to the United States, where in the following days I met with the president Joe Biden, vice president Kamal Harris, entrepreneur Ilon Mask And the relatives of the Americans, who in October were taken hostage by militants Hamas. Also Israeli Prime Minister He performed In front of both chambers of Congress.
After that, July 26 Netanyahu Meet With Trump in his residence in Mar-A-Liaf (Florida). Politicians discussed the military conflict in the gas sector and US mediation in matters of possible ceasefire and the release of hostages.
The meeting was public, journalists were attended by journalists, many of whom led a video. On the frames published by the news agency Associated Press, it is clear that Trump very cordially accepted Netanyahu and not only shook his hand, but also acquired. Later during the meeting, he again shook the hand of the Israeli prime minister. Similar shots were broadcast by other American media, such as ABC, The Wall Street Journal And CBS. The Sky News logo is visible on the video distributed in Telegram channels, however, it was not possible to find such a broadcast or video made at a recent meeting in Mar-a-Lala, on the website or in social networks of the channel.
Moreover, in a viral video where Trump allegedly refuses to shake Netanyahu's hand, politicians look different. So, the tie of the American politician on one entry is red-white, and on the other-blue with white stripes. In turn, in the video of the Associated Press to the lapels of the Israeli jacket of the Israeli prime minister, the badges are pinned, which are not on viral frames.
AFP factor with a reverse search by image Installedthat the personnel dispersed by Telegram are cut out from the broadcast of the meeting of politicians in May 2017, held within the framework visit Trump (at that time of the US President) to Israel. Then the Sky News channel really published video clip, from which it is clear that at the end of the open part of the negotiations, Trump gets up and departs from Netanyahu, but after a second he returns and shakes his hand. The operator even removed the handshake closely, but this moment is cut in the video distributed. At the same time, on more complete broadcasts You can seethat right in front of a cut out fragment (before climbing his feet), Trump already shook Netanyahu's hand.
The earliest Russian-language publication of the video in the context of the events of 2024, which was “tested”, is a post in the Telegram channel ”Snow avalanche", Posted on July 26 at 00:02 Moscow time. In Florida, at that moment it was on July 25, that is, the meeting itself, at which Trump allegedly did not shook Netanyahu's hand, has not yet taken place. This is indicated by many commentators under the post of Snow avalanche. Although the author of the channel does not claim that the meeting occurred on that day, some of the formulations used are hinting at this - for example, Trump is called the “past fire” in the publication (probably meaning unsuccessful attempt on politics in mid -July). About 11:00 Moscow time several more channels (including Popcake.tv, Olga_Styfler, "Rupost","Thoughts Kedmi" And "Putin in Telegram") Almost simultaneously posted the same video with the same comment:“ Donald Trump did not shook the hand of the Prime Minister of Israel Netanyahu at a public event. The Internet is blown up after that. " At that time, Florida was about 4 a.m., and politicians were still there to meet. Although the posts were not indicated that it is about negotiations in Mar-A-Lla, many Internet users later thought about them. By the way, in the same channel "Snow avalanche" it was a little less than a day later Layd And the current video from the meeting of politicians on July 26 - already with the commentary "Trump and Netanyahu - friends forever."
Thus, the distributed personnel were shot seven years before the meeting of Trump and Netanyahu, which is discussed in reports on social networks. In addition, the 2017 video is also specifically circumcised in such a way that it seems that Trump was ignored by the outstretched Netanyahu for handshake and simply left the meeting.
