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.
In a post shared on his official X account on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, Yousef described the assertion that Israel occupies Palestine as “the biggest lie in modern history.”
He alleged that individuals had built careers, earned millions and gained international recognition by promoting what he called a false narrative about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“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,” Yousef wrote.
The post reflects Yousef’s personal views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. His claims are disputed and do not represent an established historical or legal consensus.
