If you are referring to Mosab Hassan Yousef, the Green Prince, or his brother, Suheib Yousef, I believe you are incorrect. This should have been fact-checked.

In the most recent reference I find, from 2021, Mosab Yousef calls for Israel to target Hamas leaders.

The NY Daily News implies he is gay, which would make returning problematic.

"LGBT people literally have to escape the region to save their lives. Even the grandson of Hamas founder/leader Sheikh Hassan Yousef, Mosab Hassan Yousef, had to flee because he worried that he would be executed."
