Ariel Schalit

Ariel Schalit is a photographer working for the Associated Press (AP). Schalit's name recently appeared in news articles due to their work covering a protest in Tel Aviv. The protest involved both Palestinian and Jewish citizens of Israel who were demanding government action to address the surge in gun crime within the Arab community. Schalit's photograph of the protest was credited in an AP article covering the event. This makes Schalit newsworthy in the context of documenting and visually representing significant social and political issues within Israel, specifically the rising concerns about violence and security within Arab communities and the unified call for government intervention.
