'Timhouthi Chalamet' Uses Fame to Highlight Palestine Conflict

Rashid Al Haddad, a 19-year-old Yemeni man, has become a social media sensation and is using his platform to draw attention to the ongoing conflict in Palestine.

19-year-old Yemeni man, Rashid Al Haddad, dubbed 'Timhouthi Chalamet', has become a social media sensation after posting a video of himself aboard a hijacked container ship.
Haddad has used his newfound fame to draw attention to the ongoing conflict in Palestine, urging his followers to focus on the issue rather than his looks.
The Houthi movement, which Haddad is associated with, has been seizing commercial ships and cargo in the Red Sea, demanding that food, medicine, fuel and water be delivered to Gaza.
Haddad's TikTok account was deleted for violating the platform's community guidelines, but he has since launched a new one.
Despite the social media attention, Haddad insists that his only motivation is to stop the ongoing attack on Gaza.
