A Palestinian man who "called for Allah to punish Jews" has been jailed for nine months for attempting to arrive in the UK illegally.
Abu Wadee also known as Mosab Abdulkarim Al-Gassas, pleaded guilty to trying to get into the country on March 6 without leave or valid entry clearance at Canterbury Crown Court.
The 33-year-old reportedly filmed himself on a live stream calling on Allah to "punish (Jews) completely."
The court had heard that Wadee, who left Palestine in 2022 before making asylum claims in Greece, Germany and Belgium, had no familial or financial ties to the UK and had stayed between Calais and Dunkirk in France for about seven days before making the crossing.

In another picture posted on Facebook in March 2021, it is claimed Wadee stared into the camera while smoking a cigarette and brandishing an assault rifle with a telescopic sight.
Wadee was re-arraigned via an Arabic interpreter after the charge was amended to include that he "attempted" to arrive in the UK without leave or valid entry clearance.
He livestreamed his dinghy being approached by a Border Force vessel on TikTok.
