Egyptian Bassem Youssef responds to claims of X account deletion: 'I don't wish to falsely victimize myself'

After some users speculated that the social media platform X had reportedly deleted his account, Egyptian comedian and television host Bassem Youssef clarified in a post on Instagram: "No, my X account wasn't taken down by X."

Youssef, who had over 11 million followers, added: "I don't wish to falsely victimize myself using this."

Earlier, users of the platform circulated the news, with some speculating that this action was due to Youssef's outspoken support for Palestine and Gaza.
