Mousa Mohammed Abu Marzook earned a degree in engineering from Ein Shams University (Cairo) in 1977. In 1983 he moved to the United States.

• Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) – in the summer 2007 trial that examined evidence of the Holy Land Foundation‘s fundraising efforts on behalf of Hamas, the U.S. government released a list of approximately 300 of HLF’s “unindicted co-conspirators” and “joint venturers”—many of whom were affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.
• United Association for Studies and Research (UASR) – an Islamist think tank with ties to Hamas.
In 1991 Marzook was elected chairman of the Hamas Political Bureau. Today he serves as Hamas’s deputy political bureau chief.
