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 BA and MA 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 in New York City as a development specialist for the United Nations Development Programme.[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.[8]
