OTHER SOURCES: We performed a keyword search on YouTube and came across a longer version of the leader's speech uploaded on an unverified channel named 'Phuong DPRK Daily'. *
The video was uploaded on 11 OCTOBER 2020 and carried English subtitles of the speech. * It was titled, "Kim Jong Un's Speech at Military Parade - 75th Founding Annivers. of
Workers' Party of Korea (eng.)" * At around the 3:36 TIMESTAMP, the North Korean leader could be heard making similar statements as the viral one. * According to the subtitles, he
was heard thanking the army for their effects in handling the epidemic and the after effects of the pandemic. * He added that no one can approach their heroic and patriotic devotion without
shedding tears of gratitude. NEWS REPORTS ON KIM JONG-UN'S SPEECH: A report published in _The Guardian_ said that the North Korean leader issued a rare apology for failing to guide the
country through the coronavirus outbreak. * He got emotional and removed his glasses to wipe away tears. This was reportedly an indication of the mounting pressure on his regime. * Kim Jong
Un also warned that he would "fully mobilise" his nuclear force if threatened. CONCLUSION: Neither is the video recent nor does it show the Supreme Leader of North Korea, Kim Jong
Un, making statements on the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. It is clear that the viral video carried wrong subtitles. _(Not convinced of a post or information you came across online and want it
