Ghazi Ahmed Hamad was born in the Yebna Palestinian refugee camp in the city of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, on October 12, 1964, to a Palestinian refugee family whose origins trace back to the depopulated village of Yebna in the occupied Ramla district. He is married and has four sons and four daughters. He studied the primary stage in schools of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), and studied the secondary stage in the Beersheba School. He obtained a bachelor's degree in veterinary medicine from the University of Khartoum in Sudan in 1987, a master's degree in political science from the American World University in 1997, and a master's degree in Middle Eastern studies from Al-Azhar University in 2011. Hamad headed the editorial board of Al-Watan newspaper, affiliated with Hamas, between (1994-1995), and headed the editorial board of Al-Risala newspaper between (1997-2006). He became the spokesman for the tenth Palestinian government in 2006, and assumed the chairmanship of the General Authority for Crossings and Borders between (2008-2011). He was then appointed Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs between (2011-2019), and then Undersecretary of the Ministry of Social Development in 2019.
Hamad joined the Muslim Brotherhood in 1982 and participated in carrying out its advocacy, cultural and political activities. He also joined Hamas immediately after its establishment and participated in planning and implementing its national activities, especially in the first and second intifadas. He assumed a number of responsibilities within it; he was a member of a number of its internal committees, including the media, political, national relations and legal committees. He was a member of the political bureau of the Islamic Salvation Party previously, and its media spokesman, and he is a member of the political leadership of Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Hamad participated in national dialogues before and after the division, and was a link between Hamas and Egypt during his time working at the crossings authority, a point of contact between the West Bank and Gaza, a point of contact between Hamas and Fatah, and participated in formulating the ideas, visions and directions of the Hamas movement, and in networking relations between it and civil society institutions.
Hamad writes analytical articles on the Palestinian issue and its developments, and publishes them in newspapers, magazines and websites specializing in Palestinian affairs, and is hosted on various media outlets.
Hamad believes the Oslo Accords have failed and there is no longer any hope for their success. He considers the internal Palestinian division extremely dangerous, now the second greatest challenge after the occupation. He supports a full national partnership among all forces and parties based on consensus and understanding, as this is the cornerstone of protecting Palestinian society and the Palestinian cause. He believes in comprehensive resistance, including armed resistance, and supports the liberation of all of historical Palestine, which he considers the property of the Palestinians. He does not believe in a two-state solution or a one-state solution, while emphasizing the right of return for refugees to their homes from which they were displaced. He believes that establishing a Palestinian democratic system under occupation is not easy, especially since long experience has shown that the possibility of such a stable system that meets the needs of society is difficult and doubtful. He describes the Arab situation as confusing, ambiguous, and discouraging for supporting the Palestinian cause—a regrettable situation, especially after normalization, which he rejects. However, he notes that some Arab countries have a genuine and unwavering nationalist stance on the Palestinian cause, which is a source of pride. He believes that the future of the Palestinian cause depends on many factors, including Palestine’s need for a unified defense front, the development of a strategic vision, and the existence of external support (political and financial). However, in general, the overall Palestinian situation is difficult and thorny, especially with the occupation state continuing its racist practices towards the Palestinian people. Nevertheless, the Palestinian people, with their vitality, strength, and resistance, will change this picture in the future, but that requires a great effort.
Hamad suffered under the occupation, as he was imprisoned in its jails for five years.
