Navalnaya, Mother Held Hostage, and Gaza Photojournalist Among Time’s 100 Most Influential People of 2024

Time magazine has released its annual list of the “100 Most Influential People of 2024,” which includes notable figures such as singer Dua Lipa, football star Patrick Mahomes, actress Taraji Henson, and Yulia Navalnaya, identified as a leader of the Russian opposition. This year, women are prominently featured, with 51 out of the 100 individuals being female, including Sofia Coppola, Kylie Minogue, Kelly Ripa, and Rachel Goldberg-Pauline.

Rachel Goldberg-Pauline’s story stands out as the mother of Hirsch, a US citizen who was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists at the Nova Festival in 2023. The list also includes influential politicians like Andriy Ermak, William Burns, Donald Tusk, and Muhammad bin Abdulrahman al-Thani. The youngest individual on the list is 25-year-old photojournalist Mutaz Azaiza from Gaza, while the oldest is 86-year-old Joel Habener, a Harvard Medical School professor.

What sets this list apart is not only the names of those included but also the authors of the articles about them. For example, US President Joe Biden writes about UAW union president Sean Fein, Mark Zuckerberg discusses Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, and Michelle Obama puts the spotlight on American art museum curator Thelma Golden. Each individual highlighted in the list has made a significant impact in their respective fields, contributing to their recognition as some of the most influential people of 2024.
