Destroy Hamas in Gaza now, urges the ‘Green Prince’
[IsraelTimes] "To get to peace with the Paleostinians, Israel needs to go to war against Hamas in Gazoo, and fast." That's the view of Mosab Hasan Yusef, better known as the "Green Prince," the son of West Bank Hamas chief Sheikh Hasan Yusef.Mosab Yusef, who was a Shin Bet agent from 1997 to 2007, at the same time as he ran his father's office, is well aware of the significance of what he is saying. "I know that this will sound to some people like dangerous rhetoric, a push for war, but my motivation is precisely the opposite. I'm speaking out because you can't deal with reality by running away from it. You can't take refuge in temporary solutions. Hamas has to be tackled at its roots, uprooted once and for all, and now is the perfect moment to deal with Hamas militarily in Gazoo. The longer Israel waits," he warned, "the more dangerous an enemy Hamas will become and the harder the battle. This is the time to initiate a war against Hamas." Now based in the US, Mosab Yusef is currently on a visit to Israel, and I met with him in Tel Aviv. It was five years ago that I first revealed that he was an agent assisting the Shin Bet -- Israel's most reliable source in Hamas, central to the prevention of numerous suicide kabooms and attacks, and to the exposure of Hamas terror cells -- and the identity of his handler, "Captain Loai," Gonen Ben Itzhak. As we sat together near the Tel Aviv beach, his criticisms of Israeli government policy were clear and fierce. Posted by: trailing wife 2014-11-26 |
