Naji Assar is a Palestinian asylum seeker in Iceland who has been actively involved in protests advocating for Palestinian rights. After fleeing Palestine over six years ago and spending time in Greece, he arrived in Iceland in July 2021, where he received international protection. Assar has gained attention for his provocative social media content, which engages the public on their stance regarding Palestine. He recently made headlines for allegedly attacking a photographer during a protest organized by the Iceland-Palestine Association, an incident that has raised concerns about violence at such events.
