Hassan Yousef, the son of a Hamas group co-founder, urged Israel to assassinate leaders of the terror group in order to teach them a lesson. Yousef admits that killing the leaders won’t end Hamas but he also says it will make the new leaders think before they launch over 4,000 missiles at Israel. The leaders of Hamas do not really care about retribution because they are left unscathed and it’s their followers and civilians pay the price.
Yousef told the Post:
“Assassinating Hamas leadership will not destroy Hamas, but it will teach them a lesson. Next time, before you get civilians on both sides involved in a bloodbath, you need to think 1,000 times. This is my personal suggestion.”
“Hundreds of children have paid the price. These type of people cannot get away with what they did. They should not feel safe for a day. Hamas hates Israel more than they love their own children.”
“Hamas was very disappointed by the Abraham Accords that ignored them completely. It’s the new reality that [former] President Donald Trump made in the region. This is a new reality and Hamas is not prepared to accept it.”
Mosab Hassan Yousef was raised to be a leader in the Palestinian terrorist organization. But, instead her became a Christian after watching Hamas operatives torture and murder Israelis, according to the Post.
The Abraham Accords were meant to help bring peace to the region as Hamas witnessed these countries turning their backs on the annihilation intent of the Palestinians. President Trump was able to bring multiple countries in on the peace talks that resulted the accords. More countries would have also signed before Biden took office but are now rethinking what to do.
Yousef had begun cooperating with Israeli security forces. His code name was the Green Prince.
“During [the mid-1990s], Hamas tortured and killed hundreds of prisoners. Many, if not all, had nothing to do with Israeli intelligence,” he told the Post. “I will never forget their screams. I started asking myself a question. What if Hamas succeeded in destroying Israel and building a state. Will they destroy our people this way?”
His father disowned Yousef after his conversion and indicated Hamas operatives could kill him.
“[My father] publicly declared, ‘He is not my son,’ which means if you want to get him, I am not going to stop you or come after you. He made my blood halal,” he said.
His brother Suheib Yousef broke from Hamas in 2019 and reportedly told Israeli media the group is a “racist terror organization that is dangerous for the Palestinian people.”
