Mosab Hassan Yousef, known as the Green Prince, the son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef, addressed UN officials and ambassadors as part of an event during which the unedited footage of the October 7th massacre was screened.
"This crime cannot be forgiven. None of us should forgive this crime. Gambling with children's blood for political gain - it doesn't get worse than this. So Israel now got stained by blood. This is what Hamas wanted from day one," he opened.
"They wanted to sacrifice thousands of children so Israel could take the blame. Digging tunnels and bunkers under hospitals and schools, launching missiles. A Hamas misfire, how many people were killed at the hospital, and they went so fast to blame Israel, and the rest of the world listened to them. Nobody's concerned to check what is true and what is false. 'Whatever serves our political and short-term interests, we go for it,'" Yousef explained.
He declared: "If Hamas is not defeated, if Hamas is not eradicated in Gaza, we will set the model, we will give the freedom to so many radical groups around the world, and this is just a warning. If you really care for global security, and I speak as a person who was part of the counter-terrorism effort against radical Islamists, if Hamas is not defeated in Gaza, it will inspire many groups around the globe. They will see that a few thousand savages can blackmail the international community and the superpowers and bring democracies to their knees. Many of them are watching now, and many of them are very happy about how the world is responding, and many of them are satisfied to see the state of confusion, fear, and anxiety. This is the time to unite because if Israel fails in Gaza, all of us will be next."
