From deleting the account to "I won't surrender"... the story of Bassem Youssef's crisis with his ex

The name of the Egyptian satirical media figure, Bassem Youssef, topped the search engine trend and public conversations, after the announcement of the closure of his account on the “X” platform, without officially specifying the reason, although his account is verified and is followed by more than a million people.

Upon searching, it appears that the satirical journalist’s page was not found, as a page appears stating, “This account could not be found.”

Anger in Arab countries and the world This news angered social media users in Egypt and other Arab countries, as well as some activists in various countries around the world, as the news of the account closure topped the “X” trend in several countries.

Tweeters suggested that the reason for blocking the account was Bassem Youssef’s support for the Palestinian cause, citing a comment from an official account affiliated with the Israeli Foreign Ministry on the incident; where the Israeli account published a picture of the Egyptian media figure’s account being closed, accompanied by the word “bye.”

Supporters of Bassem Youssef In this context, many activists around the world interacted with the closure of Youssef’s account, including the Danish activist, Dr. Anastasia Maria Lopez, who said, “They closed his account because he supports the Palestinian cause.”

Likewise, the American activist and media figure Jackson Hinkle, one of the biggest supporters of the Palestinian cause, criticized the account closure in a tweet, then tweeted again, “An Israeli extremist’s call to exterminate Gaza,” and: “This genocidal maniac is allowed on (X), but Bassem Youssef is not?”

Bassem Youssef: I'm not sure when the account will come back Bassem Youssef wrote on his Instagram account: “I am not sure if or when my Twitter account will be back. I am on Instagram and Facebook.”

"Any other Twitter account claiming to be me is fake. I don't want to make any statements or interviews about this matter now," he stressed.

Criticism of X policy This has caused huge criticism of X's policy, explaining that it does not guarantee freedom of expression, and follows oppressive policies that should not be touched, accusing X of "double standards", and activists have also criticized Elon Musk for closing activists' accounts.
