Hamas Member Muhammad Qassem Sawalha Living in State-Funded Home in London Spurs Outrage and Inquiry

Sawalha, a Hamas beneficiary functioning under a UK-funded housing scheme, resides amidst Britain's largest Jewish population, stirring public outrage and prompting officials to revisit their endorsement of 'political Islamists' as counter-radicalization strategies.

• Muhammad Qassem Sawalha, a prominent member of Hamas, resides in a state-funded house in London's largest Jewish population, sparking public outrage and prompting a review of the UK's policy on 'political Islamists.'
• Sawalha was granted UK citizenship in the early 2000s after escaping to the country using a relative’s passport to avoid Israel’s security services.
• Despite regulations forbidding citizenship to anyone who incites or glorifies terror, Sawalha continued to work for Hamas after arriving in the UK, allegedly conducting secret meetings about “revitalizing” terrorist attacks in Israel and laundering money to support operations in Gaza.
• Sawalha’s residence is in a council property valued at nearly $400,000 in the London Borough of Barnet, which is home to approximately 56,000 Jewish people, a fifth of all Jewish population in the UK.
• His residence and citizenship are now subject to a review led by Barry Rawlings, the leader of the Barnet council, who stated that he was “horrified to think he could be living in our midst.”
