Al-Gassas, 33, pleaded not guilty to arriving in the UK illegally as he appeared at Manchester and Salford Magistrates’ Court.
District Judge Jane Hamilton refused him bail and remanded him in custody before his next appearance at Maidstone Crown Court on April 8.
The court heard that he had left Gaza in 2022 and tried to claim asylum in Greece, Germany and then Belgium before taking a small boat across the Channel.
Prosecutor Robin Lynch said: “He then tried Greece and Germany before a decision on his asylum status was made.
“However he was refused in Belgium as he had claimed asylum into other countries.
“He obtained money and got a place on a small boat at a cost of 1,500 euros.”
He will next appear at Maidstone Crown Court on April 8.
