“In the previous three wars, every time they came back stronger,” the younger Yousef, 45, warned of the terror group’s ongoing threat in the region. The younger Yousef, who defected to Israel in 1997 and served as an informant for the Israeli security service Shin Bet until 2007, openly compared his father’s organization to Adolf Hitler’s Nazi party.
Yousef urged the international community to turn its attention to other major players in the growing conflict. While Yousef — who was born in Ramallah, in the West Bank — clarified that his “heart breaks for the death of the Gaza people,” he was immovable in his stance that Israel is justified in trying to wipe out his father’s organization.
