Biography

Hijab was born in Aleppo, Syria to Palestinian Arab parents,[2] Wasfi Hijab and Abla Nashif, but grew up in neighboring Lebanon, where she earned a B.A. and M.A. in English Literature from the American University of Beirut.[3] During her years of study in Beirut, Hijab worked as a journalist, but she left Lebanon after the onset of the Lebanese Civil War. She traveled first to Qatar, and then to London, England, where she became the Editor-in-Chief of Middle East Magazine[4] and appeared frequently in the media as a commentator on Middle East affairs.[5]

In 1989, Hijab moved to the United States, where she worked for 10 years as a development specialist for the United Nations Development Programme in New York City. In 2000, she founded a consultancy firm, which she still heads.[citation needed]

In 2010, she co-founded Al-Shabaka,[6][7] a virtual think tank bringing together close to 60 Palestinian thinkers and writers from all over the world. She is also a Senior Fellow at the Institute for Palestine Studies.[citation needed]
