He was imprisoned in Jerusalem's central prison for incitement and violence against Israel. In 1993, Walid studied the Tanach (Jewish Bible) in a challenge to convert his wife to Islam. Six months later, after intense study, Walid realized that everything he had been taught about Jews was a lie, so he became an advocate for his former enemy. Walid is an American citizen and lives in the USA with his wife and children under an assumed name.
