'I love Corby!': Kalashnikov-wielding asylum seeker who called for death to Jews and praised Hamas moans about his human rights and says he is determined to stay in UK

The Palestinian small-boat migrant who illegally arrived in the UK after calling for the deaths of all Jews says he wants to remain in his taxpayer-funded asylum home.Abu Wadee, 34, served nine months in prison after he was exposed by the Mail on Sunday as arriving in the UK in a small boat in March 2025. Months before, he posted a video calling for Allah to 'kill (Jews) one by one... don't leave a single one'.Wadee was once a member of the 'tyre-burning unit', a Hamas-affiliated outfit that threw fire bombs, rocks and other projectiles at Israeli border forces.He was released from prison in December, and placed in a Serco-run HMO with three other migrants on a housing estate in Corby, Northamptonshire - where he was traced this week.Speaking on his doorstep, Wadee told Northamptonshire Telegraph reporter Kate Cronin he had Jewish friends.He claimed his support for Hamas had been given under duress, adding that it was 'eight years ago'.Asked if he still supported the group, he told a reporter: 'No, no, no. I love England, I love Corby.'Everyone knows that Hamas is a terrorist organisation that would kill us if we didn't speak against the Jews while living there.' Palestinian militant Abu Wadee claimed he no longer supports Hamas after he was found living in a taxpayer-funded asylum home in Corby Wadee arrived in the UK on a small boat in March last year, but was identified by the Mail on Sunday as a former member of a group that terrorised Israel He admitted he was once part of the 'tyre-burning unit', which hurled fire-bombs and rocks at Israeli forces manning the borders of Gaza (pictured at the border in 2018)Wadee, also known as Mosab Abdulkarim Al-Gassas, was found in Corby after posting videos of himself on TikTok riding around its town centre on a bicycle, and encouraging locals to shout 'Free Palestine' on camera. The account, which had about 20,000 followers, had been deleted as of Wednesday afternoon.In videos reviewed by the Daily Mail, Wadee also claims his human rights are being infringed, but that no lawyer will help him to stay in the UK.In one clip, he showed off his ankle tag and claimed: 'I have not committed any crime or done anything wrong in Britain. They are punishing me.'He added: 'I didn't come to cause trouble, and I haven't caused any trouble. Unfortunately, I can't find anyone to defend my rights. 'I can't find lawyers or Palestinian or Arab embassies willing to stand with me here.'The video did not include mention of his 2024 video in which he called for the deaths of Jews. However, he admitted that he had been pictured posing with Kalashnikov assault rifles in Gaza.'My only issue is that I entered illegally, like many refugees around the world do when seeking asylum,' he said. Abu Wadee posing with two AK-47 Kalashnikov assault rifles in front of a Palestine flag and a poster depicting Rouzan al-Najjar, a medic killed in Gaza in 2018 He has since shared clips of what appears to be an ankle tag on his social media, claiming in the videos that his human rights are being infringedBut Wadee's presence in Corby as a convicted criminal and illegal entrant to the UK have led to calls for his immediate deportation. The Daily Mail understands Home Office officials are seeking to remove him from the country.Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said it was a 'joke' that Wadee continued to enjoy a taxpayer-funded home, and called for him to be sent back to Hamas-controlled territory.And Labour MP for Corby Lee Barron said he was contacting Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood to seek Wadee's 'immediate deportation'.A spokesman for the Campaign Against Antisemitism, which first reported Abu Wadee's alleged Hamas connections to the Home Office, said: 'What is the point of imprisoning someone for being in the country illegally, and then when he completed his sentence allowing him to roam free? Our laws have become a laughing stock.'This is all the more significant in a week when the Home Secretary has announced that she will make it easier for Gazans to settle in the UK with no assurances being provided as to whether they may hold antisemitic views or have a history of terrorism.'Our country desperately needs to get a grip.'A Government spokeswoman told the Mail last night: 'Any foreign national who receives a prison sentence in the UK is referred for deportation at the earliest opportunity and will be barred from ever returning.'Over 11,000 foreign criminals including murderers and rapists have been returned or deported in the two years since the last election - a 41 per cent increase on the two years prior.'
