Mosab Hassan Yousef
Mosab Hassan Yousef (born May 5, 1978 in Ramallah ; Arabic مصعب حسن يوسف, DMG Muṣʿab Ḥasan Yūsuf ) is a Palestinian critic of Islam and from 1997 to 2007 was an informant for the Israeli domestic secret service Schin Bet .
Life
Before he himself could cause greater damage as a terrorist , the son of Hamas co-founder Hassan Yousef , known as the Green Prince , was arrested and recruited by the Shin Bet in 1996. He had access to Palestinian terrorists, masterminds and suicide bombers and prevented dozens of attacks. Mosab Hassan Yousef (later Joseph) converted to Christianity in 1999 and fled to the United States in 2007 . He applied for asylum, which was initially rejected in February 2009, but was finally granted by the immigration court in San Diego in June 2010.
In his book Son of Hamas: My Life as a Terrorist , which he wrote during his stay in the USA, he describes life as a Palestinian up to his first arrest at the age of 18, his stay in prison and his work as an agent. In 2011 Yousef gave a lecture at the 2nd German Israel Congress in Frankfurt am Main . His story was filmed in 2014 under the title The Green Prince .
In 2019, his brother Suheib Jussef, who worked from Turkey for the political arm of Hamas and performed intelligence tasks such as wiretapping leaders of the Palestinian Authority and Fatah, fled to Southeast Asia.
