Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas enjoyed during his recent visit to Berlin status of diplomatic immunityin the estimation of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in view of her Palestinian leader under police investigation for ‘incitement to hatred’after his statements about “50 holocausts by Israel at the expense of the Palestinians”.
“According to the assessment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mahmoud Abbas, for his visit to Berlin – as it was an official visit in his capacity as a representative of the Palestinian Authority – the immunity provided by international law applies, even if Germany this currently does not recognize a Palestinian state“, the spokesman of the ministry, Christopher Burger, said a while ago.
Mr. Burger clarified, however, that regarding the rules of the procedure initiated by the police, “it is the competence of the judicial authorities to examine whether in this particular case the conditions of immunity, as described in the Constitution, are met”.
