Daniel Shoebat is the son of Walid Shoebat, a controversial former Palestinian militant turned Christian evangelist and anti-Islam activist, and his wife Dodi Shoebat. Raised in the United States within a family deeply involved in conservative Christian advocacy, Daniel has actively participated in his father's mission to combat what they describe as the dangers of radical Islam. He has collaborated with the Walid Shoebat Foundation, contributing to campaigns, speaking engagements, media efforts, and foundation-supported campaigns aimed at educating audiences about Islamist extremism and promoting Christian values. Daniel has written articles for conservative outlets and appeared in videos produced by the foundation, often echoing his father's narratives on terrorism and religious persecution.

Throughout his involvement, Daniel Shoebat has been part of the broader Shoebat family's advocacy network, which includes allegations of fundraising controversies. In 2015, the family foundation faced criticism and investigations for allegedly misleading donors about the use of funds purportedly for rescuing persecuted Christians in the Middle East, with claims that much of the money supported their personal lifestyle rather than charitable causes. Daniel was implicated in these activities as a key family member handling operations, though no criminal charges were filed. Despite the backlash, he continues to engage in anti-Islamist activism, focusing on online content and public outreach to influence conservative and evangelical audiences.

The Shoebat family's work, including Daniel's contributions, has drawn both support from right-wing circles and condemnation from critics who accuse them of Islamophobia, fabricating personal histories, and exploiting fears for financial gain. Daniel's role underscores the intergenerational nature of their influence network in American conservative media and NGO spaces.
