Israeli interior minister Ayelet Shaked has ordered the deportation of jailed Palestinian-French lawyer Salah Hammouri from his home in occupied East Jerusalem to France after revoking his Jerusalem residency.
Hammouri, who holds French citizenship, has been working for Palestinian rights group Addameer, based in the occupied East Jerusalem. The rights group Amnesty has called the deportation, which is to take place on Sunday, a “shameless attempt by Israel to silence anyone who might be advocating for the Palestinian cause”.
