Don’t ‘Rejuvenate’ Hamas by Releasing Terrorists for Hostages, Warns Son of Hamas Founder
‘Hamas wants to force Israel to release mass murderers of the caliber of Sinwar. They want them released back to the streets, can you imagine?’

The son of a Hamas founder has warned Israel against releasing dangerous terrorists from its prisons as part of a hostage deal with Hamas.
“The only card in Hamas’s hands today is the hostages – they want the release of hundreds if not thousands of mass murderers from Israeli prisons,” Mosab Hassan Yousef told The Telegraph in an interview published Saturday.
“The most dangerous Hamas leaders today are not in Qatar or Turkey – they are in Israeli prisons. That includes my father. And Hamas wants to force Israel – using the international community and the global pressure – to release mass murderers of the caliber of Sinwar. They want them released back to the streets, can you imagine?”
Former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, considered the mastermind behind Hamas’ October 7 massacre of Israelis, was himself one of 1,026 Arab terrorists released from Israeli prison in 2011 as part of the Shalit deal.
As the eldest son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef, Mosab was expected to follow his father’s path within the terror organization. Instead, at 17, he chose to work with Shin Bet, becoming one of their most valuable intelligence sources during the Second Intifada.
His father has spent over 25 years behind Israeli bars after multiple arrests spanning two decades, according to the Palestinian Information Centre. His latest arrest came on October 19, 2023, when Israeli security forces detained him during their crackdown on Hamas following October 7.
Yousef warned that releasing senior Hamas terrorists from Israeli prisons “could actually rejuvenate Hamas and bring us to square one.”
“We are talking about some very dangerous people – even if they are released abroad they can continue forming and creating terrorist cells and attacking Jews worldwide,” Yousef added.
