Former Hamas Bodyguard Granted UK Asylum Arrested Over European Terror Plot
A former bodyguard of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was granted asylum and later citizenship in the UK after arriving in 2015. Despite known ties to Hamas and a past arrest in Egypt, he lived as an IT consultant in Britain. In November 2025, he was arrested in London over a plot targeting Jewish and Israeli interests in Europe. British security services reportedly did not prioritize him before his arrest. His identity remains protected by a court order amid ongoing investigations.
