Saleh al Jafarawiknown on social media as “Mr. Fafo “was accused by the Palestinian Ministry of Health of Ramallah “Of undue appropriation of funds intended for the reconstruction of the Al-Nasr Pediatric Hospital” The controversial presence of Al Jafarawi on social media includes dozens of videos in which she plays several characters: a father in mourning for the loss of her family, a refugee on the run, a journalist, a nurse, radiology technician, a surgeon, a serious injuries and once even a cadave. In which, together with other Creators of Content of Gaza, he announced his intention to collect ten million dollars, stating that this figure had been indicated as a objective by the Palestinian Ministry of Health of Ramallah. The fundraising campaign reported the logos of the Ministry of Health and the Kuwait Society for Relief.
However, the Ministry of Health promptly denied any involvement, officially declaring that it has no link with the initiative and accusing At Jafarawi and his collaborators to be only scammers: “The Palestinian Ministry of Health confirms that he is not responsible for any campaign for gathering donations for the benefit of the Gaza Strip and not to be a partner of any donation and fundraising campaign conducted by some activists on social media”. Then always the Ministry who threatened legal actions, has warned anyone “from using his name or slogan for fundraising purposes”. The Kuwait Society for Relief has not made statements on the state of the countryside if not at the moment no campaign is active to reconstruct the pediatric hospital Al-nasr. The story of “Mr. Fafo” to whom the destination suspended the accounts last Saturday infuriated hundreds of Palestinians who covered him with insults on social media as well as inviting people not to donate more money by assuming that the money was pocketed at Jafarawi or has given it to Hamas as it appears very likely. The Palestinian activist Mustafa Asfour On X he writes «I have already told you that the Ministry of Health cited by the thief Saleh al-Jaafari It is affiliated to Hamas and not to the institutions of the Palestinian state. So, dear donor, your money has gone. ” Another user raised the dose: “Saleh al-Jafarawi did not give a few million dollars to a hospital, and you will probably find it in Egypt to open a new project and tell you that he lives with his money”. Before the conflict, at Jafarawi, 25 years old, he was an unknown musician and bloggers, who published songs on YouTube and glimpses of everyday life in Gaza. However, the war made it famous. Towards the end of 2023, it had become a fixed presence in what critics call “PALLYWOOD “a term with which the false videos produced by Hamas’s propaganda are indicated which is a real fake news factory active 24 hours a day.
Famous the video in which “Mr. Fafo“He exults for the launch of rockets by Hamas, and then published videos in tears during the obvious Israeli reprisals. In February 2024, he had declared that he was injured in the hand of a splinters of an Israeli missile, but a few days later a video circulated in which he was seen while playing ping-pong without any wound. In January 2025, he had boasted of being. a sofa dedicated “to the martyr Sinwar”, despite having been previously listed as deceased (without the date of death) on Ourgazaa site affiliated to Hamas that feeds the crazy theory of the Palestinian genocide.
On several occasions, since 2023, news has circulated on his alleged disappearance, always proved false. The influence of Al Jafarawi on social media has been undeniable so far. With 5.5 million followers, he far exceeded many other regional influencers, amplifying narratives of Palestinian victims together with Hamas’s militant propaganda. The block of goal is part of a wider tight on the spread of content related to terrorism. After October 7, the platform has strengthened the measures against accounts that glorify violence or promote terrorist organizations, including Hamas, classified as such by the United States and the European Union. The explicit support of Al Jafarawi of the attack on October 7 – in which 1,200 Israelis were killed and 250 were taken hostage – made him a natural target for removing. The cancellation of his account represents a serious blow to the digital strategy of Hamas, which relies on influencers to model the global perception of the conflict. The popularity of Salaeh at Jafarawi He had grown exponentially during the war, until he rival with that of mainstream media channels. Now (maybe) it’s all over.
