Join Telegram Channel“From Hamas to America” author Mosab Hassan Yousef said Monday that Vice President Kamala Harris and the Biden administration have not acted quickly enough to stop rising tensions in the Middle East, particularly between Israel and Iran.
Yousef, who defected to Israel in 1997 and converted to Christianity in 1999, is the son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a co-founder of Hamas.
“It's a complete denial,” he said Monday night on Fox News' “Hannity.” “It's an attempt by Kamala Harris to bury her head in the sand.”

“For what [do] They want to legitimize Islamic violence as [if] “This is part of their life and we have to coexist with Islam as it is,” Yousef said, criticizing Harris’ rhetoric on terrorism amid threats made by Iran against Israel in recent days. “The more we legitimize terrorism and violence, the more we fuel their bloodlust and that is not acceptable.”
Yousef argued that the Biden-Harris administration allowed the Middle East conflict to escalate by failing to act quickly.
“The crisis we are currently experiencing, where we are on the brink of a regional war, is the result of the hesitation of the American administration,” he said.

“Iran is not – or rather the Islamic Republic – and the ayatollahs are not only attacking Israel,” Yousef continued. “For them, America is the great Satan. They always chant ‘death to America’ before they say ‘death to Israel.’”
“This is first and foremost a strategic enemy of the United States and, in fact, Israel is fighting on behalf of the United States in this region,” he said. “After October 7 and this hesitant policy in the Middle East, where we see Iran on the verge of obtaining a nuclear weapon.”

“We bury our heads in the sand and let them do it,” Yousef said. “They are not that far from having the atomic bomb. We want to give the Ayatollah a weapon of mass destruction and we are watching. We see his nuclear program and we are in total denial. This is madness!”
