(NewsNation) — A man who was raised to be a terrorist but turned his back on Hamas says the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar “is not the end of the war.” Mosab Hassan Yousef says the root of all Middle East violence is in Iran.
“My eyes are on Tehran, the head of the snake,” said Yousef, the son of a Hamas founder who spent years undercover for Israel. He told NewsNation’s “CUOMO” that Iran and its supreme leader will continue to cause pain until the world has had enough.

“It’s the responsibility of every free person in the world to put an end (to) this Islamic Republic (Iran). As long as he (the ayatollah) is alive, we are going to have a problem in the Middle East.”
Yousef believes that the best way for Gazans and Israelis to finally eliminate Hamas is for the Egyptian army to hunt down Hamas members in Gaza and find the hostages.
He believes that Gazans would not attack Egyptian soldiers, and that most Gazans want to be free of Hamas and “36 years of slavery to a sick ideology.”

Yousef also said that whoever replaces Sinwar won’t do so for very long.
“Anybody who is going to replace Sinwar is going to die,” he said. “All Hamas leaders in Turkey, in Qatar, in Tehran, in Beirut, wherever they are, they are dead men walking.”
