Ministers will be facing questions over the arrival of an alleged Palestinian militant in the UK who called for all Jews to be killed and posted menacing pictures with AK-47s. As another dinghy arrived in the UK, it’s alleged that one man on board was anything but an innocent individual fleeing Gaza. Palestinian Abu Wadee is a former key member of a group terrorising , the has revealed.
The man has filmed himself chanting about the genocide of Jews, posting several pictures imitating running battles with the Israeli Defence Forces. One shocking video posted on social media in September 2024 shows Wadee calling for Allah to “punish [Jews] completely”. “Allah, it is upon you to [deal with] the Jews and those loyal to them,” he said, according to a translation by research organisation Camera. “Allah, kill them one by one, and don’t leave a single one. Allah, destroy them completely, disperse them completely and make the Earth fall from under their feet.”

Asked about the alleged gunman on GB News’ Camilla Tominey show, Shadow Home Secretary Chris Phil claimed he would be raising the case with ministers.
He said: “I’ll certainly be asking the Home Office that question. What the Home Office needs to do is identify where this despicable individual is and, frankly, remove him from the country back to Palestine immediately.
“He clearly has no place in the United Kingdom and potentially poses a threat to our fellow citizens. This just illustrates why it is so important to get control of our borders and to stop these boat crossings.”
Former immigration minister and Conservative justice spokesman Robert Jenrick, told the MoS: “Abu Wadee is clearly a threat to the British people. The police and security services are stretched as it is without dangerous men like this who appear to hold extremist sympathies to deal with. He needs to be deported immediately.”
Former Army intelligence officer Colonel Philip Ingram said he is a “significant terror threat” to Britain, adding that he should be “arrested immediately”.
“This is one of the most worrying reports I have seen in a long time,” he adds.
Kent Police have said they are unaware of any arrests concerning the news. The Home Office has also refused to comment on whether they were aware of Waddee’s militant background and if he was free to roam the streets.
The Palestinian militant is reportedly in his mid-thirties and from the Gazan city of Khan Yunis.
Wadee appears to have been a key member of the “Tyre-Burning Unit”, a group of Palestinian extremists who hurled fire bombs and rocks at ’s authorities at the border of Gaza before the October 7 massacre.
In April 2018, Wadee, whose full name is believed to be Mus’ab Abd al-Kareem al-Qassas, bragged in an interview with the Hamas-affiliated newspaper Felesteen about terrorising .
“We try to come up with new surprises,” he said. “It is known that we started with [throwing] stones, moved to burning tyres and setting the Israeli flag on fire, and then used kites.”

A spokesman for the Campaign Against Antisemitism told the Mail Online: “We consider that this man poses a threat to public security and are asking the Home Office for urgent assurances that he is in secure custody pending further investigations.
“[Someone] whose stated ambition is ‘to die for the sake of Allah’ and prayed for the slaughter of all Jews must not be permitted to be at large in this country.”
Wadee has a significant number of followers on social media, where he documented his journey from Gaza to the UK.
It is believed he was one of the 235 migrants picked up on four small boats in the English Channel on Thursday morning.
The Home Office said: “We are committed to ending small boat crossings which undermine our border security, and restoring order to the asylum system to ensure that the rules are respected and enforced.
“While it is a long-standing rule that we never comment on individual cases or operational matters, the British public can be reassured that we take all steps necessary at all times to protect the nation’s security.”
