American Islamic scholar Omar Baloch said in a video streamed live on his YouTube channel on January 30, 2024 that Israel wishes to launch a third world war. He said that the Israelis are trying to create "disorder" in the world at the behest of the "bankers," in order to allow them to collect their debt. Baloch said that in order to create this disorder, like they did in World War I and World War II, they are going to collapse the economy and create another pandemic. He said that Covid-19 was a "test" for this pandemic, which will distract world attention from the war in Israel, and lead to America entering a war with Iran, which will constitute World War III. On February 2, 2024 Omar Baloch delivered a Friday sermon at Masjid Al-Furqaan in Chicago, Il.
Omar Baloch: "Let's talk about the current situation. So when Israel is doing something big, as it has in major situations in the world, like World War I and World War II, it has always involved the bankers. Therefore, whatever Israel is doing today must also involve the bankers.

To throw the world into chaos, you need a war and you need a financial crisis, and from this disorder you bring back order. Israel is creating disorder at the behest of the bankers, just like when disorder was being created by the Zionists in Europe, and at that time, Hitler wanted to stop that, and the Zionist bankers and the Zionists used muscles to do away with those that were in their way.

"They are trying to collapse the economy, and they are going to do this at multiple levels. They are going to do this financially, but they are also going to use another tool that they just tested out. That thing that they just tested out, was two years ago when they tested out Covid.
"They are going to create another pandemic and get the world to think about other things besides what is happening in Israel, to bring the world to create a greater war, to force America into war with Iran.

"You fight with Iran, that is World War III."
