Palestinian reporter Motaz Azaiza has more Instagram fans than Vice President Joe Biden. Azaiza is known for covering the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza in a brave way.
He said this on his Instagram story, where he also showed how many followers he has compared to the US President. Azaiza has more than 17.3 million followers on the Meta-owned site, while Biden has 17.2 million followers. That’s what the story says.
A Palestinian photographer was named GQ Middle East’s “Man of the Year” for his coverage of the war between Israel and Hamas. After graduation, he had a hard time finding inspiration because of the high unemployment rate in Gaza.
Even though it was hard, his love of photography led him to make an Instagram account with mostly pictures of everyday life in Gaza. As his work slowly became more well-known, it was constantly threatened because of the violence in the area.
He didn’t back down and said, “No one is safe, nowhere is safe, and fear is everywhere.” I either stay inside or go outside. Why should I not go out? As I watched Israel bomb Gaza, I told myself, “I have to stand up and show the world the truth through the camera lens.”
This shooter, whose name is Motaz, not only shows what life is really like in Gaza, but he also speaks out for the Palestinian people’s strength around the world.
His resolve has grown stronger, emphasizing how important it is to make the world aware of the impending plight of the Palestinians in the face of actions by Israel.
