Claim: Video allegedly shows Muslim members of Israel’s parliament praying after coming to power.
Conclusion: The claim is false. The video actually shows people offering prayers inside the Jordanian House of Representatives in Jordan. There is no credible evidence or verified reporting that Arab parties or representatives in Israel held prayers inside the Israeli Parliament.
Rating: False 
Several social media users have shared a video and claimed that the Arab party representatives in Israel performed prayers after coming to power. Verified X user ‘RAHULPARIHARI11’ shared such a post with the caption (translated into English) : “As soon as they came to power, prayers started being held in Israel’s parliament And Israel is a Jewish country.” Attached to the post is a video of people kneeling down for prayers with an overlaid text in Hindi that reiterates the same caption.

FACT CHECK
DigitEYE India decided to investigate this claim and found it to be false. The footage depicts a prayer gathering inside Jordan’s House of Representatives, not Israel’s parliament. No credible reports or verifiable evidence indicate that Arab representatives in Israel conducted prayers inside the Knesset.
Details:
For context, NPR reports that Palestinian Arab voters turned out in record numbers during Israel’s October 2026 elections, helping strip Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right government of its parliamentary majority. According to the report, Arab-led parties secured 19 out of 120 Knesset seats, giving them a “critical role in the negotiations” over who will govern Israel. However, this does not mean the Arab parties have come to power, as neither political bloc has secured the 61 seats required to form a government.
We first conducted a reverse image search on various keyframes of the video to learn more about the origin. The search took us to a Youtube short uploaded on 5 November 2026, titled : “Beautiful Reminder of Faith! Jordanian Members of Parliament Pause Their Work to Pray Together.” The description notes that “several members of parliament gathered shoulder to shoulder to perform the Dhuhr (noon) prayer before beginning a parliamentary session” in Jordan.
Another search result took us to a Youtube short uploaded by BBC News Arabic on 4 November, 2026. Translated into English, the title reads : “Prayer under the dome of the Jordanian parliament sparks mixed reactions.” The description mentions that “Jordanian MPs performed the noon prayer under the dome of parliament before the session to elect the permanent office…”
Next, we searched for images of the interior of the Jordanian Parliament and confirmed that the visuals matched its parliamentary chamber. This establishes that the video originates from the Jordanian Parliament rather than showing members of Arab-led parties in Israel. Furthermore, we found no verified media reports or credible evidence confirming that the alleged incident took place in the Israeli Knesset. View a side by side comparison below –
Thus, the claim is false.
