Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef who became a Shin Bet asset known as the "Green Prince," issued a statement warning that Israel's existence is non-negotiable and that it has deliberately withheld its most advanced weapons. "We are only playing at this point," he wrote, in a defiant message directed at anyone who believes Israel can be destroyed. The statement was posted on his social media channels and is a personal commentary, not an official Israeli or security source.
Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef who defected and became a long-time Shin Bet asset known by his handlers as the "Green Prince," published a defiant open statement on Wednesday morning. In the post, Yousef asserted that Israel's existence "is not up for negotiation and does not depend on superpowers or public opinion." He argued that Israel has deliberately refrained from deploying its most advanced weaponry, declaring: "We don't want the enemy to know what we have, and at this point we are only playing."
The statement marks the latest public commentary by Yousef, who has been increasingly outspoken in recent weeks. As The Zioneer has reported, his father, senior Hamas figure Hassan Yousef, was released from administrative detention earlier this month on health grounds — a move Mosab Yousef publicly warned could lead his father to attempt to ignite an intifada in Judea and Samaria. Yousef also addressed an open letter to President Donald Trump earlier this month in which he accused the U.S. of halting Israeli military momentum at critical junctures.
The current statement is an opinion piece posted to his personal social media channels and carries no official Israeli or security source attribution.
