The son of Hamas founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef has claimed that his father’s aim was to establish an Islamic state within the territory of Israel, according to a report published by Mail Online.
Sheikh Hassan’s son who became an Israeli spy added that Hamas militants want 'annihilate the Jewish people' and create a 'global' Islamic state.
The son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, the founder of Hamas, who left the terrorist organisation and worked for years as an Israeli spy, is alerting Americans and other nations of his father's and his army's plans to "annihilate" the Jewish people and impose sharia law everywhere.
Known as the "Green Prince," Mosab Hassan Yousef was an Israeli spy for Hamas from 1997 to 2007. His information stopped further attacks, including suicide bombers.
In a series of interviews with American media outlets on Tuesday, he warned that his father and Hamas would not be pleased with taking territorial Palestine alone and that they are fighting a religious war to which there is no end for them.
“But this is not the end because their ambition is global. They want to eventually establish an Islamic State, a global Islamic State,” he told Jake Tapper on CNN.
He also said the group initiates war with the Israelis every few years when they 'need money'.
“This war, Israel did not start. Hamas started this war. Hamas, blood for money, they start a war every few years when they want money they shed children's blood and this has to stop. This has to stop. It has to come to an end.
“Unfortunately, the price is not going to be cheap.
“I feel very sorry for Israel that they have to go into Gaza where there are booby traps all over the place...I don't know how many Israeli soldiers have to die in order to destroy Hamas.”
Yousef then appeared on Fox News, where he said the group is 'more dangerous' than ISIS.
“Look at the division and the global confusion because of Hamas. They brought us to our knees somehow by their brutality and their barbarism. Brutality is even understating Hamas' acts.
“Hamas is a religious movement, and they are a raging religious movement against Israel. The mainstream media cannot say this because they are afraid to ignite a religious war.”
Hamas militants attacked Israel on October 7, killing hundreds of Israelis and taking some hostage.
Israel has bombarded Gaza with airstrikes since then and is pushing a ground assault in the Palestinian territory to flush out Hamas militants.
