(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - The Israel Security Agency on Sunday released footage of the interrogation of former Hamas communications minister Yousef al-Mansi, who called the Gaza leadership "a group of madmen led by [Yahya] Sinwar. They have destroyed Gaza, setting it back 200 years." Al-Mansi, who was arrested on Dec. 5, said, "People in Gaza say that Sinwar and his bunch have ruined us, we must get rid of them. They are directly responsible. I haven't seen anyone who supports Sinwar, no one likes him. Some people pray day and night that God will free us from him. The achievements of Hamas are the killing and destruction of more than 60% of the buildings, infrastructure, streets and public facilities" in Gaza. He also condemned the Oct. 7 attack on Israeli border towns, describing it as "madness," "heresy," and "the antithesis to Islam. What they did is incomprehensible, against reason, religion and intellect." Al-Mansi stressed that Hamas must be removed from Gaza completely and let the Palestinian people rebuild their lives and pursue peace. "If they want Iran, let them go to Iran. Want Syria? Go to Syria. We don't want them. Let us live, heal our wounds."
