BREAKING: Israel says it has deported a Palestinian lawyer and activist to France, claiming he has ties to a banned militant group. France had objected to the move, saying Jerusalem-born Salah Hammouri should remain in his birthplace.
Israel, however, claimed he continued his activities with the banned group and placed him last March in administrative detention — a status that allows Israel to hold suspected militants for months at a time without charging them or putting them on trial. Hammouri was not charged in the current case, but Shaked ordered the deportation when his detention order expired.
“Deporting a Palestinian from their homeland for breach of allegiance to the state of Israel is a dangerous precedent and a gross violation of basic rights,” said the group’s director, Jessica Montell. “HaMoked will continue to fight against this unconstitutional law.”Last year, Hammouri was among six human rights activists whose mobile phones were found by independent security researchers to have been infected with spyware made by the Israeli company NSO Group.
Israel captured east Jerusalem, home to the city’s most important religious sites, in the 1967 Mideast war and annexed the area in a move that is not internationally recognized. It considers the entire city to be its capital, while the Palestinians claim east Jerusalem as the capital of a future state.While Jews in the city are entitled to automatic citizenship, Palestinians are granted residency status.
