“जैक विटकॉफ के पिता स्टीव विटकॉफ ट्रंप के मध्य पूर्व मामलों के विशेष दूत भी हैं।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Both parts of the claim check out as of the 2026-07-02 broadcast: Zach Witkoff (World Liberty Financial co-founder) is Steve Witkoff's son, and Steve Witkoff has served as President Trump's Special Envoy to the Middle East since being named to the role in November 2024. Multiple independent sources, including wire-service-backed reporting and encyclopedic records, confirm this; no Indian fact-checker dispute exists because the claim is uncontested.
