"There are more voices calling for a ceasefire, but the mission is not yet complete," Musab Hassan Yusuf, a former Shin Bet agent within the Hamas terror organization who earned the nickname "The Green Prince" because his father, Hassan Yusuf Khalil, is considered a senior Hamas figure in the West Bank. In a video he posted on social media, the Green Prince claims that "we must settle accounts with Hamas."

"Hamas has not yet lost its position of power," clarified Yousef, who later converted to Christianity. "These voices calling for a ceasefire mean that Hamas must be allowed to escape punishment for its crimes. Get away with their strategy of destroying the State of Israel and endangering the lives of Palestinians using them as human shields. To that I say 'no'. We can't stop now."
"We have a responsibility to fight"
Musab claimed that "peace will be achieved after the war. Israel, the free world, the United States and every free person in the world – we did not start this war. Hamas started this war and we have a responsibility to fight against it, this is the real achievement of peace. Those who fight against the barbaric Hamas movement are the true peacemakers. Anyone who doesn't have something good to say, then he'd better shut up.
"The power must be taken away from Hamas. Israel doesn't want or need to be in Gaza; it's a war forced on it. We need patience, unity and strength. This is not the time to surrender to Hamas and their strategy, they are a very dangerous movement, I have been saying this for 20 years."

The Green Prince added, "Hamas was planning something dangerous and no one listened. I've spoken to Congress, to the United Nations, to European parliaments and around the world, I've spoken everywhere – and what I've gotten is criticism. Today we cannot continue to live in the same denial. A ceasefire means legitimizing Hamas. If we don't settle scores with Hamas today, ask yourself what will happen tomorrow."
