From the Times:

A British man has been accused by the German authorities of being Hamas’s key liaison in Europe with numerous alleged links to the terrorist organisation.

Majed Al-Zeer, 61, a prominent Palestinian activist who has appeared in parliament at events with Jeremy Corbyn and several other British MPs, is alleged to have contacts at the highest levels of the Hamas leadership.

At events with Jeremy Corbyn? Surely not.

A file from the German interior ministry, first reported by Der Spiegel, a German news magazine, names Al-Zeer as the “person responsible for Hamas” in Germany and across Europe….

After moving to the UK about 30 years ago Al-Zeer became one of the central figures in the PRC [Palestinian Return Centre], which was founded in 1996 to campaign for the Palestinian cause and above all for Palestinian refugees’ “right to return” to their homeland.

During Al-Zeer’s years in London he and the PRC put on several events in parliament that were attended by several senior Labour politicians. These included Corbyn, Andy Slaughter, the shadow justice secretary at the time, and the former frontbencher Ian Murray, as well as the vocally pro-Palestinian independent peer Baroness Tonge.

The usual suspects, in other words.
