Hassan Yousef (Arabic: حسن يوسف; born 1955) is a Palestinian militant and co-founder of Hamas, a US- and EU-designated terrorist organization.
He is considered a member of Hamas' extremist faction and refrains from any talk of rapprochement between Israelis and Palestinians.[1] He is also considered one of the spiritual leaders of Hamas.[2]
Yousef is married to Sabba Abu Salem. They have six sons and three daughters. His eldest son, Mosab Hassan Yousef, worked undercover with Shin Bet from 1997 to 2007 to prevent attacks on Israeli civilians, as he considered such attacks immoral and destructive to the Palestinian cause.[3][4]
On 2 July 2019, Hassan's youngest son, Suheib Hassan Yousef, appeared in an interview with Israeli television criticizing Hamas and describing it as a corrupt terrorist organization. In response, members of Hamas described him as a traitor and a collaborator, while other Hamas-affiliated networks accused him of working with the Mossad. Suheib Yousef denied these accusations.[5]
