Further information surfaces following CAA investigation into Abu Wadei
Campaign Against Antisemitism has uncovered further information about Abu Wadei, who was recently reported to have arrived in the United Kingdom on a dinghy.
The initial investigation found that Abu Wadei has been part of a Hamas-endorsed unit responsible for violence on the Gaza-Israel border, and has told a rally in Gaza that he wanted to “die for the sake of Allah”, along with various other details.
We have now uncovered a video posted to Facebook on 18th September 2024, in which Abu Wadei is heard praying: “Oh Allah, punish the Jews and those who support them. Oh Allah, punish the Jews and those who support them. Oh Allah, punish the Jews and those who conspire with them. Oh Allah, punish the Jews and those who are in league with them. Oh Allah, kill them all ,and do not leave a single one of them. Oh Allah, destroy them completely, scatter them completely, and make the earth fall from under their feet.”
He is also heard praying: “Oh Allah give us strength against the criminal Jews. Give us strength against them, Oh Lord of the worlds. Give us strength against them, Oh God.”
Mr Wadei seems to have been living without attracting attention in Switzerland and Germany for two years, despite having hundreds of thousands of followers on social media accounts that showcase his involvement in violence in Gaza. Suddenly a few days ago, it appears that he has decided to cross Europe and risk his life to come to Britain.
We believe that Abu Wadei’s name is Mosab Al Qasas.
We have obtained a WhatsApp number that appears to be his, registered in Greece.
He also appears to receive money via PayPal using paypal.me/MosabAlqassass. We have reported the account to PayPal.
A spokesperson for Campaign Against Antisemitism said: “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 investigation. A jihadi 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.
“The fact is that he has brazenly posted not only these views, but also his involvement in a Hamas-endorsed unit in Gaza on social media accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers. It is alarming in the extreme that he does not appear to have attracted the attention of the authorities in numerous European countries and has now arrived in the UK with relative ease, having openly posted videos on each stop of his journey to the UK.”
