An alleged Hamas-supporting Channel migrant has admitted attempting to enter the UK illegally on a dinghy.
Abu Wadee, also known as Mosab Abdulkarim al-Gassas, dropped his bid for prosecutors to abandon the case against him after he was accused of being one of the 235 migrants picked up on four small boats in the English Channel on March 6.
He was arrested by Home Office Immigration Enforcement officers at an asylum hotel in Manchester three days later after the Mail on Sunday shed light on the 33-year-old's antisemitic social media posts, images of him holding guns, and his apparent links to Palestinian extremists.
His lawyers previously claimed it was not proportionate for the Palestinian national to be charged with illegally entering the UK without clearance, given he was one of around 75 migrants on a cramped inflatable boat intercepted by Border Force.
They had said Wadee, who previously called for 'death to all Jews', was not one of the organisers, but was simply a passenger, having paid 1,500 euro (around £1,300) for his space on the dinghy.
