Taught to hate Jews from childhood

"Everywhere you go, there is hatred towards the Jewish people and Israel. You are taught hatred in mosques, schools, the street, and at home," he stated when reflecting on his education at the UNRWA high school.

Yousef then discussed the terrorist organization Hamas in further depth and about the current situation in the Arab world and the Middle East.

"The people who wrote the Hamas charter are a group of lunatics," he said.

A warning to the world about Hamas

Yousef also had a warning for the Arab world, stating that "the Arab world needs to pay attention to the danger from within. Hamas doesn't care about human lives. They sacrifice the lives of children and innocent children to achieve cheap political goals.

Excerpts of the interview will be published and promoted on various digital platforms, both in the international community and the Arab community.

In addition to the interview, Yousef toured the Gaza envelope and visited the settlements affected by the October 7 massacre and the site of the Re'im music festival massacre. 

 'The idea of jihad must stop, and it must stop now," Yousef concluded.
