Arab-Israeli vlogger and online influencer Nuseir Yassin - known to his millions of followers as the founder of the popular online community "Nas Daily" - expressed his support for Israel during the ongoing conflict with Gaza.
Nuseir Yassin, 31, currently resides in Dubai and is renowned for his YouTube channel "Nas Daily," which documents his global travels.
Taking to 'X', he declared that he now identifies as Israeli first and shared this sentiment with his online community.
He explained, "I do not want to live under a Palestinian government."
He was born in Israel's northern city of Arraba and grew up in Israel, initially described himself as a "Palestinian-Israeli".
However, recent events led him to reevaluate his identity. He mentioned that his thoughts shifted to anger, particularly concerning the safety of Israeli citizens.
He highlighted the fact that all citizens in Israel are potential targets in the event of an invasion.
Nas Daily pointed out that over 900 Israelis have lost their lives in the conflict including Arab-Israelis, demonstrating that the threat is not limited to one particular group.
Nas Daily expressed his strong attachment to Israel where his family lives and emphasized that it is the country he wants to see continue to exist.
However, he also stressed the importance of an independent Palestinian state and his hope for its prosperity.
Consequently, he identified as an "Israeli-Palestinian" with Israel being his primary identity and Palestine as his secondary one.
Yassin acknowledged that sometimes it takes a significant event to provide clarity on one's identity.
