Meta suspended the Instagram account of American activist Shaun King for his outspoken criticism of the Israeli Occupation's aggression against Gaza.

Social media user Zeina Akl has initiated steps to demand the immediate reinstatement of King's account, urging followers to report and comment under Instagram posts and stop any paid ads running on Facebook or Instagram.

Shaun King, in a previous exclusive interview with Roya, called for the trial of Tel Aviv's leaders and labeled President Joe Biden as a "war criminal" for supporting the Israeli Occupation's aggression.

He emphasized the impact of digital imagery on shaping Western public opinion in favor of Palestinians.

Despite facing daily death threats, Shaun King and his family consider themselves safe, though he does not rule out the possibility that the Tel Aviv government might be behind these threats.

King also revealed the spreading of misleading information by the Tel Aviv army, including a video falsely claiming monetary donations from him. He sees these tactics as reflective of the Israeli Occupation government's modus operandi.

Facing digital space obstacles, Shaun King disclosed that his TikTok account was permanently blocked, and his Instagram account faced complex restrictions.
