Mahasen Al-Khateeb (1993 – 18 October 2024) was a Palestinian freelance artist, specialising in illustration and character design.

During this difficult period of war, she used visual art to depict the ordeal and horrors undergone during the Israeli military campaign, disseminate the Palestinian cause and advocate for human rights.

[1] Regarded as a talented artist, she conveyed strong narratives related to the harsh war realities facing, often by means of social media.

Israel authorities suppressed virtually all Internet connectivity in Gaza, for which she often relied on social media, like Instagram, to disseminate her artistic production.

[2] In the Basque Country, multiple unions, including ELA, LAB, UGT, and CCOO called meetings in Pamplona, Donostia, Bilbao and Vitoria-Gasteiz to denounce her death, pay tribute, and demand an end to the Palestinian genocide.
