After a set of controversial events that took place between HasanAbi and Twitch, there once again seems to be a headline. After getting banned from the streaming platform for the 7th consecutive time, HasanAbi seems to once again be back on the platform after 3 days of ban.
On January 29, 2026, during the middle of his live stream, HasanAbi’s Twitch channel was labelled “temporarily unavailable,” as he was to be temporarily banned due to his previous remarks, such as “rabid ultra-Zionist pigs.” But now, Twitch has lifted the ban and restored his account.
Netizens Call Out Twitch For Unbanning HasanAbi
Following his negative remarks, HasanAbi faced a heavy backlash online, and many praised Twitch for this decision, including Adin Ross. HasanAbi even had some heated exchanges with another political streamer, Nick Fuentes, who pointed former was banned for “Jewish censorship. Not just Israel.”

Following this, HasanAbi even announced that he would switch to YouTube for further streams. However, on Feb 1, 2026, an automated X account, @StreamerBans, announced that HasanAbi was unbanned after just 3 days, 2 minutes, and 16 seconds.
The decision of Twitch to do this in just 3 days did not sit right with many people on the internet, as many do not seem to side with HasanAbi on his political views. This drew a lot of backlash online, as many commented things like “Twitch really is a god d*** joke” and “Twitch is f****** pathetic.” The whole social media, be it X or Reddit, was filled with people raging against Twitch.
While many ain’t happy with the unban, Hasan’s audience viewed his initial ban as suppression of “free speech.”
HasanAbi To Continue Streaming On Twitch
During his 3-day ban, HasanAbi moved to YouTube Live and got a peak of 100,000 concurrent viewership. He also raised almost $18,000 in donation from a single stream.
However, after getting unbanned from Twitch, HasanAbi took to X and posted a picture of himself, captioned “See you tomorrow.” It looks like the political commentator will stick to Twitch for now and will not switch to YouTube full-time.
