Naji Salim Hussain Al-Ali (Arabic: ناجي سليم العلي Nājī Salīm al-‘Alī; born c. 1938 – 29 August 1987) was a Palestinian cartoonist, noted for the political criticism of the Arab regimes and Israel in his works.[1] Al-Ali is best known as the creator of the character Handala,[2] a personification of the Palestinian people that has become prominent symbol of Palestinian nationalism and resistance.[3][4]
One of the best-known cartoonists in the Arab world, and celebrated as the greatest Palestinian cartoon artist,[5][6] Al-Ali drew over 40,000 cartoons, often reflecting Palestinian and Arab public opinion and offering sharply critical commentaries on Palestinian and Arab politics and political leaders.[2] On 22 July 1987, while outside the London offices of al-Qabas, a Kuwaiti newspaper for which he drew political caricatures,[2][7] Al-Ali was shot in the neck and mortally wounded.[8] He died five weeks later in Charing Cross Hospital.
