Hamas founder’s son said- ‘Hamas does not care about the people’

Tel Aviv: Mosab Hassan Yousef, also known as “The Green Prince,” is the son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef. He has now joined Israel’s public diplomacy campaign on the war in Gaza. Yosef, who rejects terrorism and has worked to help fight against it, arrived in Israel and visited the areas of the October 7 massacre in the western Negev. Referring to the Hamas covenant, which calls for the killing of Jews, he said, “The people who wrote the Hamas covenant are a bunch of lunatics.”

“The Arab world needs to pay attention to the threats within itself,” he said. “Hamas does not care about the people. In fact, they are sacrificing the lives of children and non-combatants to achieve cheap political goals.” Finally he said, “The concept of Jihad must be stopped, and it must be stopped now.” Youssef has been a vocal critic of any dissent with Hamas and since October 7 has called on Israel to destroy the organization. He says trying to get Hamas to agree to release the remaining hostages is a waste of time because the organization cannot be trusted.
