Mosab Hassan Youseff: A Society Doing Everything To Save One Life Is Inevitably The Victor

Mosab Hassan Youssef, the son of a senior Hamas figure and a former Shin Bet  agent who now promotes Israel’s agenda abroad, analyzed in a candid interview with Arab affairs expert Tzvi Yehezkeli on i24NEWS the complex situation in Israel and Gaza. He addressed the events of October 7th and the subsequent war, emphasizing Hamas’s inhumanity and the use of children as human shields.

“This is not a normal situation,” Mosab Youssef, known as “The Green Prince”, began. “What happened on October 7th and afterward, the use of children as human shields, the sacrificing of thousands of people for ‘Palestine’… this is unprecedented. Humanity has never been in such a situation. There is no country or nation that would willingly enter a scenario where parents are ready to sacrifice their children for political and financial gain, to make a political statement or to gain sympathy from the world.”

Mosab, visibly pained, added: “Show me one example from history where a society chose to do something so idiotic. And this is what Israel is dealing with right now. It’s very complicated. It’s a situation where you lose no matter what, not because Israel is weak, but because it’s a lost cause. Hamas left Israel no choice but to respond.”

“In the meantime, Hamas’s leadership decided to sink the ship with everyone on board, in a suicidal move,” Mossab continued. “So in this case, it was doomed from October 7th. You can’t win after something like that.”

According to him, “Releasing the hostages and paying a heavy price to bring them back is not a mistake. It shows humanity and how important the hostages are to Israeli society. At the same time, it shows how reckless the parents and leaders on the other side were for sacrificing children.”

“The story is not about who wins and who loses in this war,” Mossab clarified. “Hamas decided a long time ago to sink the ship with everyone on board. So now, if the question is about the right strategy… there is no such thing. We have to deal with this impossible situation, day by day, moment by moment, and we have to be spontaneous and respond accordingly.”

“If today we have the option to release some of the hostages, and if that means stopping the attacks, I am in favor,” Mossab declared. “As long as we bring people back alive. But this will not continue forever. The number of hostages is limited, and Hamas cannot play this game forever. Eventually, they will have to pay for the crimes they have committed and continue to commit.”

When asked about releasing terrorists, Mossab responded: “Those who have murdered cannot erase their crimes. Hamas has killed thousands of innocent civilians over 36 years of terrorism.”

“Today we are thinking about the families of the hostages,” Mossab said. “But did we think about the families of the victims of Hamas terrorism who are now seeing the release of the criminals who killed their children, and they are going free without paying for what they did?”

In conclusion, Mossab said: “It’s not about how many hostages we bring back and how many terrorists we release, but about what this reflects for society. One society does everything in its power to save one life, and the other society sacrifices everything to save an idea, an ideology. This is what we are dealing with, and if the public understands this, then that alone is a victory for humanity. Justice will be done.”
