Between 2008 and 2009, he was president of the General Union of Palestinian Students (UGEP-Chile), where he raised awareness of the situation of Palestine in many universities.
He worked as executive director of the Palestinian Community of Chile until June 2021. In this capacity, he worked in Chile and Latin America, and planned advocacy work with Chilean authorities. As he has become more involved, thus a recognizable personality in the struggle for Palestinian rights, the Israeli government has, in 2017, prohibited him from entering Palestine.
