Baha Boukhari works in Ramallah for the Palestinian daily, Al-Ayyam. He is said to have close ties to the Palestinian Authority. Known for their moderation, Boukhari’s images are generally warmly received by the Israeli public. The subject matter of his cartoons most often involves that of the Israeli occupying forces in Palestine. Some of his most incisive work published last November focused on the building of the separation wall between the Palestinians and Israelis.

Boukhari began his career as a cartoonist in 1964 at the Al-Rai Alaam newspaper, and continued to work for the Al-Anba and Al-Quds before starting at Al-Ayyam in 1999.

Boukhari is a member of a number of associations including the General University of Palestinian Writers & Journalists, Federation of Arab Journalists, General Union of Palestinian Artists, Arab Cartoonists Association, and Cartoonists & Writers Syndicate.
