Jasem Aljuraid is a Kuwaiti journalist, political writer, and civil rights activist who has gained attention for his outspoken views on normalizing relations between Gulf states and Israel. He is a liberal writer, investigative journalist, and political refugee who advocates for peace and coexistence, challenging traditional stances held by many in the Arab world. Aljuraid has openly criticized Kuwait's refusal to engage with Israel, particularly when the country maintains relations with other nations that have poor human rights records, like Iran.

His bold stances have led to controversy in his home country. In 2022, Aljuraid was fired from his position at the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Qabas after interacting with an Israeli journalist on social media and inviting him to visit Kuwait. Despite the backlash, Aljuraid continues to promote liberal values, opposing Islamist extremism and calling for greater women's rights in the region. His advocacy focuses on bridging the gap between Arabs and Israelis and encouraging diplomatic ties as a path to peace.

Aljuraid remains an influential voice, particularly on social media, where he engages with his audience on topics related to Middle Eastern geopolitics and civil liberties​.
