Although following October 7 Hamas pogrom in Israel, ultra-Islamist Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) refrained from issuing any statement in favor of its natural allies – Palestinian terrorists and mega-terror outfit Hamas, sitting in London, party’s acting chairman Tarique Rahman held several meetings with Hamas members including Muhammad Qassem Sawalha, while on October 11, he has donated £10,000 in cash. While handing over the donation, Tarique Rahman told Hamas representatives that his party is refraining from issuing any statement against “Israel” because it would annoy key policymakers in Washington and would prove BNP as an ally of Hamas and Hezbollah, despite the fact his party has always been supportive to these outfits.
According to Blitz and UK newspapers The Sunday Times, Mail Online, Metro UK, The Sun, Daily Express, and Israeli newspaper Jerusalem Post, a Hamas terrorist named Muhammad Qassem Sawalha ran operations in Tubas in the West Bank, has been enjoying life in a British state-funded home in London borough of Barnet, that houses one-fifth of all British Jews, another pro-Hamas individual namely Zulkarnain Saer Sami alias Zulkarnain Saer Khan Sami alias Tanvir Md. Sadat, who after being deported from Hungary landed in the United Kingdom and sought asylum has been funding and promoting pro-Hamas and anti-Israel rallies in London has turned into a potential threat to Britain’s national security as according to media reports, this notorious criminal has been plotting attacks on Israeli embassy as well as Jewish synagogues, homes and business establishments, while he also reportedly is plotting attacks on Jewish community members in the country.
Daily Mail in its report said, the two-story property, which comes with a garden and a garage, is located only a 10-minute drive from the nearest synagogue.
In 2003, the father of four became a council tenant at a two-storey home with a garage and a garden in Colindale, in the north London borough of Barnet, where he lives with his 56-year-old wife Sawsan.
The address is within a 10-minute drive of two synagogues.
In June 2021, Sawalha and his wife used the Right to Buy scheme to purchase their home for £320,700.
The council granted them a £112,300 discount on the property’s market value, £500 less than the maximum discount available for that financial year. They do not have a mortgage on the property.
Under the Right to Buy scheme, council tenants can get a discount on the market value of a property. The average price of a home in the area is nearly £600,000, according to Land Registry data.
Some 56,616 Jews live in the borough of Barnet, the highest Jewish population of any in Britain, according to the Office for National Statistics.
The terrorist Qassem Sawalha entered Britain from Jordan as a fugitive through the use of a relative’s passport in the 1990s and has since claimed British citizenship, the Sunday Times reported.
According to The Sun, Muhammad Qassem Sawalha previously fled Israel after helping Hamas establish a terror presence in his homeland during the late 80s. He evaded Israeli security services using a relative’s passport.
Despite his activities, he was granted a British passport in the early Noughties and handed a council house in 2003. A 2004 US probe revealed he was holding secret talks in the UK about “revitalizing” terrorism in Israel.
Hamas is a recognized terrorist organization in the United Kingdom and supporting Hamas can lead to a 14-year prison sentence under the Terrorism Act.
