Jazar, who currently has 1.5 million Instagram followers, regularly shares content on the situation in Gaza, both depicting his daily life and conducting informal interviews.
In his social media bio, he describes his work as “spreading hope through words.”
He was born in 2014 during a period of displacement of his family amid Israel’s military onslaught on Gaza that year. He later gained attention at a young age for his recitations and public religious performances, including memorisation of the Quran in early childhood.
Following the outbreak of Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza in October 2023, he began posting more regularly on social media, describing life under bombardment, long queues for water, reliance on firewood for cooking, and limited access to humanitarian aid.
During the Israeli war, Abu Jazar also wrote a book titled “A Biography of Childhood and Heroism”, reportedly produced while staying in schools converted into shelters for displaced families.
The book was presented to Erdogan during Monday’s meeting.
