This incident came at a time when the region is witnessing increasing tensions with the escalation of war Occupation The Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip and Lebanon claimed the lives of thousands of martyrs, including children, women and the elderly, in addition to the injured.
Al Jasmi’s photo with Palace sparked a wave of anger on social media platforms, as some considered that this meeting does not respect the blood of the martyrs and brings back the idea of some Arab countries normalizing with the Israeli occupation, which the peoples reject.
Several social media users responded to Al Jasmi’s tweet, refusing his comment on the situation, and confirming his knowledge that he was a blogger affiliated with the Israeli occupation, and that the situation was not just a picture, but that they were sitting together.
Mr. Hussein, you sat with him and you knew that he was a Jewish blogger and he had a problem a while ago with another artist because she took pictures with him and they responded.
And her fans attacked her

The Egyptian actor Mohamed Ramadan was previously subjected to a sharp attack after he appeared at parties in the Emirates accompanied by figures belonging to the Israeli occupation.
They felt that they had embarrassed Mohamed Ramadan after publishing his pictures with Zionist singers and that he began to deny knowing their nationality, so they published his picture with the national team player.
