Mosab Hassan Yousef, a former Hamas member who later worked as an informant for Israel’s Shin Bet, has claimed that Palestine was never a country and was never occupied.
Yousef made the remarks in a post shared on his official X account on Tuesday, June 30, 2026.
In the post, he described the claim that Israel occupies Palestine as “the biggest lie in modern history.”
He alleged that many individuals have built careers, earned millions, and gained global recognition by promoting what he considers to be a false narrative about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Yousef also accused some activists and politicians of benefiting from what he described as a fraudulent victim narrative, insisting that the narrative would collapse once people become aware of what he believes is the truth.
He stated,
“The Biggest Lie in Modern History. Palestine was never a country. It was never occupied. Yet millions have been made, careers built, and global fame achieved by professional liars claiming Israel “occupies Palestine.” This entire victim industry, from fake activists to corrupt politicians, is built on pure fraud. The whole narrative collapses the moment people learn the truth.”
