I Warned Israel Years Ago — They Thought I Was Crazy | Mosab Hassan Yousef

Mosab Hassan Yousef saw Hamas from the inside. Years before the world fully understood the threat, he warned that Hamas was preparing for another war. Many dismissed him. Some thought he was exaggerating. Others thought he had lost his mind. Today, his words carry a very different weight. In this powerful 2015 interview with i24 News host Lucy Aharish, Mosab—son of one of the founders of Hamas—speaks candidly about what he witnessed inside the organization, how Hamas operates, and why he believed another conflict was inevitable. Drawing from his personal experience growing up in the inner circle of Hamas and later working against it, Mosab explains the ideology, the strategy, and the mindset that drive the group—and why he believes the greatest victims of Hamas are often the Palestinian people themselves. This interview is not just about politics or history. It is about truth, courage, and the cost of speaking out when few are willing to listen. If you want to understand Hamas beyond headlines and slogans, this conversation is essential viewing.
