A Hamas terrorist who participated in the October 7, 2023, massacre is living in Belgium and has been traveling freely across Europe, the Belgian JID antisemitism watchdog finds.

Mohannad al-Khatib, who defines himself as a freelance journalist, was seen in images inside Israel on October 7 and makes regular anti-Israel posts, according to Hebrew media outlets citing the watchdog report.

JID Vice President Ralph Pais tells Channel 12 news that they have handed a 65-page dossier to the authorities with evidence that Khatib was involved in the massacre and is now publishing anti-Israel propaganda from Belgian soil.
