The 2017 Hamas policy document defines Palestine as extending from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea and from Ras al-Nakura in the north to Umm al-Rashrash in the south.
The quoted geographic description matches the territory described in paragraph 2 of Hamas’s 2017 Document of General Principles and Policies, notwithstanding transcription and transliteration errors in the video.

There were no Israeli troops inside Gaza on October 7, 2023.
Contemporary accounts describe the October 7 attack as Hamas-led forces crossing from Gaza into Israel, while Israel’s ground entry into Gaza began later, on October 27, 2023. The claim is therefore accurate for October 7 itself.

The occupation and armed resistance by all means and methods are legitimate rights guaranteed by divine and international law.
International law recognizes rules concerning occupation and, in some contexts, peoples' self-determination, but it does not make every form of armed resistance lawful. The claim's categorical phrase 'all means and methods' is contradicted by binding rules limiting conduct in war.

U.S. officials said after Operation Midnight Hammer that Iran's nuclear-weapons program had been completely or totally obliterated.
The speaker accurately reports what was said by the U.S. president, but the underlying assertion that the entire nuclear weapons program was “completely and totally obliterated” is not supported. Expert assessments describe major damage to enrichment facilities while noting that important nuclear material and reconstruction capability remained.
-
Only the United States or China might be able to extract the buried highly enriched uranium.
The transcript does not identify the site, material, technical method, or the person being quoted. Without those details, the claim that only the United States or China could retrieve it cannot be independently tested.
-
The Strait of Hormuz is international waters under international law.
UNCLOS states that transit passage applies through international straits but does not alter the legal status of the waters forming those straits. Thus ships generally have a transit-passage right, but the speaker's categorical description of the strait as international waters is misleading.
-
Ships may transit the Strait of Hormuz without Iran's permission under international law.
UNCLOS provides ships and aircraft a right of transit passage through qualifying international straits, and says that such passage shall not be impeded. That right is subject to the convention's conditions and does not mean the waters are outside coastal-state jurisdiction.

Reporting on the June 2026 framework says Israel is to gradually withdraw from occupied areas in southern Lebanon and that the Lebanese Armed Forces will assume security in areas vacated by Israel. The arrangement's implementation and timetable remained subject to conditions and negotiation.
