The Exposure of Hamas Operative in the UK and EUROPE 👇
An investigative report published by The SUNDAY TIMES (by Gabriel Pogrund, Dipesh Gadher, Venetia Menzies, and Emanuele Midolo) details a major counter terrorism case involving a former Hamas operative who obtained British citizenship and used suburban England as a base to coordinate attacks in Europe. Referred to legally as "Mr X," the former personal bodyguard to Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh secured asylum and citizenship in Britain before orchestrating a terrorist plot targeting Jewish and Israeli interests ahead of the second anniversary of the October 7 massacre. Following intelligence sharing by Mossad and German security agencies, National Crime Agency officers arrested him in central London last November. Concurrently, Berlin coordinated with authorities in Austria, Denmark and the UK to detain seven suspects and seize weapons, including an AK-47 variant.
While his lawyer initially argued that identification would prejudice a separate criminal case awaiting trial in the UK where he remains in custody and Westminster Magistrates' Court originally granted 100 years of anonymity, this order was amended after a challenge by The Sunday Times so his name can be published once separate UK proceedings conclude. If convicted in the UK, he will serve a custodial sentence before facing extradition to Germany for procuring arms for Hamas.
