GAZA CITY — A jailed senior Hamas leader disowned his son on Monday after the young man admitted to having spied on the Islamist group for Israel and playing a major role in the arrest of senior militants.
"I, Sheikh Hassan Yussef... my wife, sons and daughters announce that we have completely disowned the man who was our oldest son and who is called Mosab," he said in a statement.
The decision was taken following "the man who is called Mosab's apostasy towards God and his prophet... his betrayal of Muslims, his cooperation with the enemies of God and the damage he caused to our people and our cause."
Last week, Israel's Haaretz daily reported that Mosab Hassan Yussef, 32, was a top informer for Israel's Shin Bet internal security agency and was known by the codename "The Green Prince."
