Mosab Hassan Yousef sparks controversy with anti-Muslim remarks in Los Angeles

Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of a founding Hamas leader and former Israeli intelligence informant, sparked controversy at the Jewish American Summit in Los Angeles following a series of inflammatory remarks directed at Muslims.

During his presentation, titled ‘In the Mind of the Enemy,’ Yousef made several derogatory statements, including telling the audience, ‘I don’t want Muslims in America. Get the f*** out of the United States.’ He also expressed disdain for the Quran and the Islamic faith. Reports indicate that a portion of the crowd applauded his remarks.

The summit, which included high-profile attendees such as Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, focused on topics including the U.S.-Israel alliance, antisemitism, and Iranian influence. Yousef, who worked with the Shin Bet security service for a decade before moving to the United States, has become a frequent speaker on issues related to radical Islamism.
