UK Citizenship Review Looms After Ex-Haniyeh Bodyguard Arrest
Investigators say the suspect helped move handguns and ammunition for planned attacks on Jewish and Israeli targets, and seven others were charged in the wider case.
- On 26 September, The Times reported that Britain granted citizenship to a former bodyguard of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who was arrested in London for allegedly plotting antisemitic attacks across Europe.
- Known as 'Mr X' due to British legal restrictions, the man arrived in Britain in 2015 under David Cameron's Conservative administration and worked as an IT consultant despite being the son of Basem Naim, a senior Hamas official from Gaza.
- German prosecutors allege he transported weapons from Berlin to Vienna for planned attacks, with intelligence provided by Israel's Mossad. "Seven other suspected Hamas operatives have already been charged in connection with the wider plot."
- Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch condemned the case and renewed calls to leave the European Convention on Human Rights, while Andy Burnham's Labour government faces pressure to review the suspect's citizenship and naturalization.
- Former Labour adviser Ben Judah warned the report confirmed fears of Home Office incompetence through "carelessness, incompetence and denial," calling for a "real reckoning" after courts challenged a 100 years anonymity order protecting the suspect's identity.
