01 · THE DISPATCH

Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef who became a prominent Shin Bet asset and pro-Israel activist, sharply attacked US Vice President JD Vance in a statement posted Thursday afternoon. Citing a report in the Jerusalem Post, Yousef claimed that a large-scale plan to topple the Iranian regime using Kurdish forces and Israeli air support was ready for execution but was canceled by former President Trump at the last moment. He alleged that Israeli sources accuse Vance of leaking the operation to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, calling the act 'treason'.

Yousef, known as the 'Green Prince' during his years as a Shin Bet informant, has become a vocal pro-Israel commentator since the October 7 massacre. He has previously warned that Israel possesses undisclosed advanced weapons, as The Zioneer reported on June 24. The allegations against Vance come amid ongoing controversy over the Trump administration's diplomatic framework with Iran, which Vance helped negotiate. The Zioneer has previously covered Vance's role in the US-Iran deal and reports of a canceled Israeli strike in June. The claims in Yousef's statement remain unverified and are based on a single report.
