What happens when your father is a founding leader of Hamas, and you choose to renounce violence as a way of life?

Mosab Hassan Yousef faced this profound question. His life has become the answer.

He was born in Ramallah in the West Bank to Hamas leader Sheikh Hassan Yousef. His father established the political wing of Hamas, known as a global terrorist organization responsible for countless suicide bombings and other deadly attacks against Israel, including the attack on October 7th, 2023.

Mosab was deeply involved in the movement and spent over 27 months imprisoned by Shin Bet, Israel’s intelligence service. During his incarceration, he witnessed Hamas’s brutal treatment of its own people, sparking a reevaluation of his true adversaries—was it Israel, Hamas, or America?

Mosab’s debut book, Son of Hamas, became a New York Times international bestseller and inspired the documentary The Green Prince, which premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival and won Best Documentary. The film also received accolades at the Moscow International Film Festival and the Israeli Film Festival. His latest work, From Hamas to America , published in August 2024 by Simon and Schuster, provides deeper insights.

In this book, Mosab divulges critical information about Hamas and shares his secret role, the painful separation from his family and homeland, and his perilous decisions aimed at achieving lasting peace in the region. He has addressed the United Nations and engaged with global leaders, offering a unique perspective from within Hamas.

Mosab’s primary purpose is to provide a voice for freedom and peace and bring hope to an entire generation of those who, without a new way of thinking, are destined to follow in the destructive patterns of the past.
