The Green Prince is a 2014 documentary-biography directed by Nadav Schirman about Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of Hamas leader Sheikh Hassan Yousef, and his relationship with Shin Bet handler Gonen Ben Yitzhak. The distributor’s synopsis says Yousef was recruited by Shin Bet under the code name “Green Prince.” The film is based on Yousef’s memoir Son of Hamas.
What is The Green Prince about?
The film centers on Yousef and Ben Yitzhak, presenting their relationship through the story of Yousef’s recruitment as an intelligence source. Mongrel Media, the film’s distributor, describes it as a “real life thriller” about the son of a top Hamas leader. That is the distributor’s framing; the synopsis establishes how the film tells the story, not independent verification of every event it depicts.

The subject touches on intelligence operations and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is useful to distinguish the documentary’s account from independently corroborated historical claims: the sources cited here establish the film’s premise and its connection to Yousef’s memoir, but do not independently verify each episode.
Who made the film, and when was it released?
Nadav Schirman directed The Green Prince, which Mongrel Media lists as a 2014 release with a theatrical release date of October 17, 2014. The distributor lists English and Hebrew as the original languages and gives the running time as 95 minutes. The Danish Film Institute catalog lists 99 minutes, so runtime depends on the catalog entry rather than being a single consistent figure.
