Naftali Wahba Bezem (Hebrew: נפתלי בזם; November 27, 1924 – October 2, 2018) was an Israeli painter, muralist and sculptor.
His early adolescence was spent under Nazi oppression, in constant fear for the safety of his parents, who were later murdered in Auschwitz concentration camp.
Naftali immigrated to Mandate Palestine in 1939, at the age of fourteen with a Youth Aliyah group.
Bezem's son Yitzhak was killed in the 1975 Zion Square refrigerator bombing in downtown Jerusalem.
