Abdel Rahman Rabee Abdel Rahman Shehab was born in Jabalia, North Gaza Governorate, on July 12, 1968. He is married and has three children. He completed his primary education at Jabalia Al-Balad Boys' School in Jabalia, and obtained his high school diploma in the science track while imprisoned by the Israeli occupation in 1997. He earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Tel Aviv Open University in 2006 and a master's degree in political science from the same university in 2007. He has served as the director of the Atlas Center for Research and Studies since 2012.
Shahab joined the Islamic Jihad Movement in 1986, participated in its activities, and was one of its cadres in the First Intifada. He was active in the ranks of the Palestinian prisoners’ movement, and was the general emir of the Islamic Jihad Movement in the occupation prisons for more than one organizational term.
Shahab specialized in Zionist affairs, and founded the Atlas Center for Research and Studies in 2012. He published a number of research papers, studies, and reports, including: Dr. Fathi Al-Shaqaqi’s vision for managing the modern state (2013), Turkish-Israeli relations in the Israeli mind, the militarization of the Israeli national decision (2015), and Ashura between the Hebrew and Islamic calendars (2016). He also published a number of articles and analyses in newspapers and websites concerned with Palestinian and Zionist affairs. His center translated a number of books and studies published in Hebrew, including: The Rising Cliff: Implications and Lessons (2015), Media-Guided Wars (2018), and The Bounced Arrow (2020). He participated in a number of conferences in Palestine and abroad.
Shihab adopts Islamic thought and believes that the Palestinians tried to exploit the Oslo Accords to consolidate the Palestinian political system and preserve the Palestinian cause from extinction, while the occupation wanted to transform the PLO into a system similar to the South Lebanon Army. The occupation succeeded in achieving a large part of its goals. In contrast, Hamas in the Gaza Strip was able to form a protector for the resistance, accumulate the strength of the resistance and its armed factions, and score more points in its favor. The West Bank has also been trying for some time to escape Israeli control, and this has been translated into a number of uprisings. All of this has been accompanied by an accelerating decline of the occupying state.
Shehab believes that the possibility of overcoming the division between Hamas and Fatah is nonexistent at this stage, while the relationship between Hamas and Islamic Jihad is stable and based on understanding. He also believes that relations between Islamist and secular movements are largely positive. He maintains that Palestinians have the right to use all forms of resistance, but armed resistance comes at a high price. Therefore, he argues, armed resistance must be combined with political and media resistance. He believes that the Palestinian cause is linked to the future of the Islamic world and the unity of the Muslim Ummah, especially since the occupying state was created to perpetuate the division of Arabs and Muslims. He asserts that it will not disappear through the strength of the Palestinians alone, and victory will only be achieved when the conflict returns to being an Arab-Islamic struggle against the Zionist entity. He believes that the occupation's acceptance of the two-state solution is temporary, as it seeks to seize more land and Judaize it to achieve a "Greater Israel." He argues that establishing a Palestinian state within the June 4th borders has become extremely difficult, and that only those who have given up on the two-state solution propose the one-state solution.
Shahab suffered under the occupation; he was arrested by the occupation forces on December 16, 1988, and sentenced to thirty-five years. He was released in the Wafa al-Ahrar deal in 2011. The occupation forces also “sealed” his family’s house and obstructed his education in their prisons more than once, by repeatedly transferring him between prisons and preventing him from receiving some books, even though they were prescribed university textbooks from an Israeli university.
