It’s purpose, discipline, and a way to carry the weight of Palestine with power and pride.In this episode of Beyond The Buzzer, we sit down with Omar to talk about:

🥋 What it means to step into the ring calm, present, and tactical
🌍 Representing a country under pressure—and not just showing up, but aiming to win
🧠 How he handles pressure, expectation, and growth at just 19 years old
🎯 His ambitions outside of the sport—and why taekwondo is just one chapter
