Full Bio
Mosab Hassan Yousef was born in Ramallah, in the Palestinian West Bank in 1978. His father, Sheikh Hassan Yousef, is a founding leader of Hamas, internationally recognized as a terrorist organization and responsible for countless suicide bombings and other deadly attacks against Israel. Yousef was an integral part of the movement, for which he was imprisoned several times by the Shin Bet, the Israeli intelligence service. He withstood torture in prison only to discover Hamas was torturing its own people in a relentless search for collaborators. He began to question who his enemies really were—Israel? Hamas? America?
While in an Israeli prison, Yousef was approached about becoming a spy for the Shin Bet. Initially, Yousef accepted it with the idea that he would betray them and in hopes he could use the role to protect his father and family. Later, as Yousef saw the hypocrisy within Hamas and became a Christian, he used the position to save lives on both sides of the conflict.
Yousef worked as a double agent within Hamas for nearly 10 years. He became a vital intelligence asset for the Israeli government while Yousef served side-by-side with his father within the upper ranks of Hamas. After a chance encounter with a British tourist, Yousef started a six-year quest that jeopardized Hamas, endangered his family and threatened his life. He has since embraced the Christian faith and sought political asylum in America. His story was revealed in the 2008 Fox News documentary “Escape from Hamas.”
Yousef ‘s first book Son of Hamas, written with Ron Brackin (SaltRiver), released March 2, 2010. In Son of Hamas, Yousef reveals new information about this dangerous terrorist organization and unveils the truth behind his own secret role. He describes his surreal journey to a new faith that instructed him to love his enemies. And he tells the story of the agonizing decisions that led him to walk away from his family, friends and homeland.

The Son of Hamas: The Voice of Truth, a Hope for Peace
Destroying Israel is not Hamas’ final destination. Their aim is to raze all non-Muslim nations and to turn the world into one giant Islamic state – a global caliphate. In this presentation, Yousef educates audiences on the truth about Hamas, and its plan to touch every one of us. Armed with courage, first-hand experience, and the truth, Mosab is unwavering in his mission to bring us all understanding, and even next steps.
He discusses solutions to this crisis, like educating the Palestinian youth, and offering other opportunities and paths they may follow. Yousef has said many times that the younger generation in the Middle East is sick and tired of the elders leading them into senseless destruction and death. Perhaps this is our opening – our chance to begin the process of peace. It all starts with education and understanding, which is why he is here, after risking so much. With bold statements like, “Israel is not the problem in the Middle East, it’s the solution,” he hopes to start a real dialogue – even if it is heated – just to get the ball rolling and end this war.
He will share with the audience, his entrenched understanding of the concepts of Jihad, and why terrorists feel that when they kill – they win, and when they die – they win. He will also reveal the inner workings of Hamas’ war room, and how Hamas functions on a leadership level, and on the ground. This presentation applies to each one of us, whether we are an executive, educator, student, religionist, community leader, or simply a member of the human race. Audiences will leave with a new understanding of conflict, ideas to facilitate change, a plan for their own future, and simply – hope.
