Factly: Viral video of Yair Lapid criticizing PM Modi is AI-manipulated

A video circulating on social media platforms has been identified as AI-manipulated by the fact-checking organization Factly. The clip purportedly features former Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid making remarks about Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

In the viral footage, Lapid is allegedly seen stating that PM Modi utilized the Pulwama terror attack to construct a specific election narrative. However, Factly’s analysis confirms that the video is not authentic and has been altered using artificial intelligence technology.

The organization highlighted that the content does not align with verified records of Lapid’s public statements. This debunking serves as a reminder for users to verify the source of political content before sharing it on digital platforms.

The incident underscores the growing challenge of AI-generated misinformation in the current digital landscape, where deepfake videos can easily mimic real political figures to spread unverified claims.
