The blurb beneath the video states,

In a recent TV interview, Sunni Iraqi cleric Sheikh Ahmad Al-Kubeisi said that ISIS was an asset in the hands of Netanyahu, who “holds the remote control” and “gives orders to all the rulers of America, Europe, and elsewhere” and that the Jews are the masters of the land today. Al-Kubeisi further said that his fatwa ruling that people killed fighting ISIS were martyrs did not apply to the mostly-Shiite militia Popular Mobilization Units, because they “are killing Muslims just because they are Sunnis.” Asked about Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, he said that he was “so stupid that when he was detained in Camp Bucca… they used him as a scarecrow and then chucked him into the garbage.” The interview aired on the Iraqi Sumaria TV channel on June 11, 2016.
