A Gazan who called for the killing of Jews and who arrived in the UK through crossing the channel in a small boat has been re-imprisoned after breaching his licence conditions.
Palestinian Mosab Abdulkarim Al-Gassas, also known as Abu Wadee, was sentenced to nine months in prison in May after pleading guilty to trying to enter the UK on 6 March without leave or valid entry clearance.
He documented his journey through Europe – including his arrival in Britain on a cramped dinghy – on his TikTok profile. His videos have attracted up to 2.5 million views.
The Mail on Sunday reports that he was released in June, after having served around three months, as part of the government’s scheme to relieve pressure on overcrowded prisons.
According to the paper, he was recalled to prison early last month for breaching his licence conditions and will now serve the remainder of his nine-month sentence behind bars.
Wadee’s social media accounts feature him posing with a rifle and clashing with Israeli forces.
In one video published on his Facebook page in September, Wadee filmed himself 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 the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis (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.”
Shadow home secretary Chris Philp said the episode showed a series of failures by the Labour government.
“Firstly, their failure to control our borders is allowing people like this hateful extremist into our country.
“And then Labour's early release scheme is allowing dangerous criminals to roam our streets and put the public at risk”, he told the Mail on Sunday.
