He mentioned the individuals of Gaza ought to insurgent towards Hamas for establishing peace and safety within the area.
In an unique interview with indiatoday.in, Mosab Hassan Yousef mentioned Hamas terrorists’ involvement within the multi-prong assaults on Israel meant they had been “dead men walking”. He mentioned Israeli forces and himself had been after Hamas and eliminating the group.
Mosab Hassan Yousef, who labored as an secret agent for Israel till 2007 when he shifted to the US, mentioned he was tortured and crushed by Hamas and declared a traitor when he mentioned that violence ought to finish.
“Hamas was our project, our family business. In fact, I was profiting from Hamas. Hamas gave me prestige and gave me power. And it was in my interest. So, when I decided to depart Hamas many years ago, it was not an easy thing to do,” he mentioned.
“I had to go against the family. I had to lose my security. I had to lose my status in society. I warned my father and Hamas that violence must end. But instead of listening, they shunned me and they made me into a traitor. I was tortured and beaten by Hamas. It is their way of indoctrinating the young Palestinians,” he added.
Mosab Hassan Yousef mentioned Hamas was committing battle crimes in Gaza and blamed the group for the civilian casualties within the Palestinian enclave. He additionally acknowledged that Hamas terrorists used civilians and so they dedicated the “genocide of the century”.
“Hamas started this war. They are responsible for it. And the people of Gaza need to rebel against Hamas. This is their duty. Hamas committed the genocide of the century,” he mentioned.
He asserted that Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank or these settled overseas, had agreed that Hamas was doing a holy battle.
“It is sad to see death and destruction, but we need to ask ourselves what began this and who will take responsibility for the use of human shields,” he mentioned.
On the institution of Hamas as a bunch on the event of its thirty sixth anniversary (December 14, 1987), Mosab Hassan Yousef hoped that this yr can be the tip of the fear group’s violence and destruction. He additionally rebuffed claims that Israel created Hamas to compete towards the Palestinian Authority.

“And how can we call this a humanitarian ceasefire if it does not have a condition of the immediate release of all hostages? So, if the humanitarian ceasefire proposed by the UN Security Council included the hostages’ release, then it would actually be a good one. But, this ceasefire is meant to give Hamas a lifeline. We know there are civilian casualties. But who is responsible for that?” he added.
Mosab Hassan Yousef additional mentioned, “Hamas wants negotiation. It is desperate for a ceasefire because they want to be recognised as a counterpart, as the legitimate body, while they are nothing but a savage terrorist group which committed a genocide. How can a democratic country sit down across the table negotiating with savages like this who want to release mass murderers from Israeli prisons?”
Stressing for the elimination of Hamas, Mosab Hassan Yousef acknowledged that the individuals of Gaza would quickly be capable of have self-determination and have a pacesetter “who would heal their wounds”.
“As someone who was part of the Israeli counter-terrorism unit, I am telling you, I know them, it’s impossible that Israel is going to give the Palestinians power, territory just overnight,” he mentioned.
“If Hamas keeps insisting on annihilating the state of Israel, it will suffer. Hamas will make everyone else suffer,” he added.
“Everybody who was involved in the October 7 genocide, there is no escape for them. Consider all of them dead men walking. It doesn’t matter how far they go, even if they are on Mars. We are going after them, including myself. They are not going to get away unpunished,” he additional mentioned.
