Mohammed el-Kurd (Arabic: محمد الكرد, born 15 May 1998) is a Palestinian writer and poet, who has gained prominence for his description of Palestinians' lives under occupation in East Jerusalem, the rest of the West Bank; el-Kurd has referred to evictions as a form of ethnic cleansing,[1] and has also accused Israel of imposing apartheid-style laws and regulations onto Palestinians in the occupied territories.[2][3] He has also spoken out about the oppression in the Gaza Strip, notably the Israel–Hamas war.
