FURY grew yesterday after a fanatical Hamas supporter from Gaza filmed himself arriving in Britain on a cross-Channel migrant boat.
Palestinian influencer Abu Wadei triggered a security scare after he posted video of himself flicking a V for victory sign at the front of a boat packed with migrants in orange lifejackets.

Jewish community leaders in the UK reacted with horror amid fears Wadei’s arrival could herald a flood of dangerous supporters of the bloodthirsty terror group.
Wadei has posted violent imagery of himself toting assault rifles, hurling slingshots and flexing his muscles in front of burning debris in the besieged Hamas stronghold.
The firebrand – whose real name is Mossab Al Qassass aged in his 20’s – has 170,000 Tiktok followers.
He also has a YouTube channel followed by 189,000 subscribers which collects money via PayPal.
Palestinian Wadei’s social media feeds show him at a rally declaring he is a member of a violent Hamas “tyre burning unit”.
He rails against Jews in the post, adding that his “loftiest aspiration” is to “die for the sake of Allah”.
He posted an anti-Jew video on his Facebook page last September, ranting: “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: “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 illustrates why it is so important to get control of our borders and to stop these boat crossings.”
The UK-based Campaign Against Anti-Semitism learned of Wadei’s arrival under UK last Thursday among 245 arrivals escorted on the south coast of England on Friday.
The group said it had carried out exacting computer “body-mapping” checks comparing images of the boat arrival plus with video and images on Wadei’s online profiles.
CAA officials said they had also taken legal advice on their findings and issued an urgent appeal to the Home Office to take action.
Wadei’s post of his arrival shows his packed dinghy being escorted to UK shores by a UK Border Force patrol boat.
A spokesman said yesterday: “We are sure this man is now in the United Kingdom.

“We are asking the Home Office to take immediate action to locate Abu Wadei and ensure that he cannot pose a threat to public security.
“Anyone who may have a track record of being in any way affiliated with Hamas or promoting antisemitic rhetoric must not be permitted to endanger this country.
“If jihadis who want ‘to die for the sake of Allah’ can enter the United Kingdom from Gaza with relative ease, that poses a serious threat to national security.”
Wadei’s TikTok charts what appears to be his journey from the Middle East across Europe ending in a bus stop in France and a migrant campfire before he crossed to the UK.
The rabble rouser also appears in footage among men chanting a battle cry referring to a massacre of Jews at the Battle of Khaybar in 628.
His chant concludes: “The army of Muhammad is returning”.
Wadei’s arrival is the latest of a long list of asylum scandals.
The Sun revealed this week that Albanian crimelord Maksim Cela is still here more than two years after claiming he was entitled to stay to protect himself from rival gangsters back home.
More than 2,056 migrants have crossed the Channel in boats so far this year after a surge of 36,816 during the whole of 2024.
Around 150,000 people have arrived in small boats since 2018 and fears have spiralled of a surge from Gaza to Europe amid Donald Trump’s calls to move Palestinians out.
A Home Office spokeswoman 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.”
