Press Release: Mosab Hassan Yousef warns Sheikh Hassan Yousef against any attempt to revive Hamas in the West Bank and ignite an Intifada. Sheikh Hassan Yousef has been released yesterday from Israeli prison on humanitarian grounds due to his poor health. He is one of the most prominent Hamas leaders in the West Bank and one of its original founders. His influence on the Palestinian street remains significant. After nearly 30 years in and out of prison, one would hope he would finally rest and take care of himself. However, if he attempts to revive Hamas, rebuild its infrastructure, or activate its sleeping cells in the West Bank, he must fully understand the consequences and not take advantage of this humanitarian gesture. October 7th erased all doubt. Those who created the ideology that led to those barbaric crimes, and those who justify them, are complicit. While Hamas leaders live in luxury in Qatar, Sheikh Hassan Yousef continues to serve them. His attempt to reignite violence and a third Intifada in the West Bank will not serve the exhausted and suffering Palestinian people. It will only serve the Hamas leadership living safely abroad. He should look at Gaza, Lebanon, and Tehran and think very carefully before allowing Hamas to exploit his influence and set the West Bank on fire. There will be no more mercy, and he will bear direct responsibility for the consequences. This is the reality, the same man who stood with armed Hamas militants now lies weak in a hospital bed.
