Pages and accounts on social media circulated a video attributed to "Fadi Badriyeh," claiming he speaks in it about the end of the deadline given to the government to implement demands, and that he is currently studying several options.
The fact-checking team traced the circulating clip by breaking it into still frames and running a reverse image search, and found that the video is old and does not document any recent statement; it dates back to November 2025. The original context of the statement at the time showed that "Fadi Badriyeh" was talking about following the directives of "Hikmat al-Hijri" and his rejection of reconciliation with the government, not about the end of a deadline or the study of new options at present.
Why is this claim misleading?
An old video re-posted in a different context: The claim relied on an old clip from 2025 in which "Fadi Badriyeh" discussed his position on reconciliation, re-posted in a different time frame as a recent statement about the end of the deadline given to the government, to suggest a current development that did not occur.
