Former Hamas operative Mosab Hassan Yousef has accused Vice President Kamala Harris and the Biden administration of failing to act quickly enough to address rising tensions in the Middle East, particularly between Israel and Iran. Yousef, who defected to Israel in 1997 and converted to Christianity in 1999, strongly criticized Harris' rhetoric on terrorism, arguing that it legitimizes Islamic violence.
Mosab Hassan Yousef, a former high-ranking Hamas operative and son of the co-founder of the terrorist organization, leveled scathing criticism at Vice President Kamala Harris and the Biden administration, accusing them of exacerbating tensions in the Middle East by their inaction.
In an interview on Fox News' "Hannity," Yousef expressed outrage over the administration's handling of the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. He condemned Harris' rhetoric on terrorism, accusing her of "hiding her head in the sand" and "legitimizing Islamic violence."

Yousef argued that the administration's failure to act swiftly has allowed the conflict to worsen, putting the region on the brink of a regional war. He emphasized that Iran poses a direct threat to both Israel and the United States, and the Biden-Harris administration must take decisive action before it is too late.
"The crisis that we have right now, that we are at the verge of a regional war, is the outcome of the American administration's hesitation," Yousef asserted. "Iran is not only attacking Israel; they consider America the 'great Satan.'"

Yousef accused the administration of "total denial" regarding Iran's nuclear ambitions. He warned that Iran is close to obtaining a nuclear weapon, which would pose an existential threat to both Israel and the United States.
"We hide our heads in the sand and we let them go," Yousef lamented. "They are not that far from achieving a nuclear bomb. We want to give Ayatollah a mass destruction weapon and we're watching it. We see his nuclear program and we are in total denial. This is madness!"

Yousef emphasized that the Biden-Harris administration has a moral and strategic obligation to act decisively to prevent further escalation and protect American interests in the Middle East. He urged the administration to abandon its "hesitant policy" and take immediate action to address the growing threat posed by Iran.
The White House has not yet responded to Fox News' request for comment on Yousef's accusations. However, his criticisms underscore the growing concerns among experts and policymakers over the Biden administration's handling of the Middle East and the potential consequences of its inaction.
