Salah Hammouri is suspected by Israel of having ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), an organization designated as a terrorist organization by the Jewish state and the European Union
The deportation of the Franco-Palestinian human rights lawyer Salah Hamouri, who has been held since March in Israeli prisons without formal charges being brought against him, has been announced by the Israeli authorities.
According to a statement from the Israeli Ministry of the Interior, Salah Hammouri “was deported this morning to France following a decision by the Minister of the Interior, Agelet Saket, to revoke his permanent resident status.”
Hammouri’s family and supporters were expecting his deportation this morning on a flight from Tel Aviv to Paris on the Israeli airline El AL.
Hamouri, 37, was sentenced in March to three months of administrative detention, a controversial measure that allows Israel to jail suspects without formal charges. Hammouri, who is suspected by Israel of having links — which he denies — to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), an organization designated as terrorist by the Jewish state and the European Union, was briefed in late November that in December he would be deported to France.
Salah Hamouri’s deportation is a “test” for East Jerusalem residents, Leah Tsemel’s lawyer said recently, raising fears that a future Israeli government will further revoke residency permits from Palestinians born in the city, which they consider holy. the believers of three religions.
