The terrorist Salah Hamouri was deported yesterday (Sunday) from Israel to France and his residency in Israel was revoked according to the decision of the outgoing Minister of the Interior, Ayelet Shaked. The United Nations condemned Shaked’s decision and said that “deporting a protected person from an occupied territory constitutes a serious violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention.” This evening the outgoing Interior Minister rejected the criticism of the United Nations.
“Jerusalem is not an occupied territory but a territory of the State of Israel – you should recognize that. Saleh Hamouri is a terrorist who belongs to a terrorist organization and the very fact that human rights organizations are protecting him and not bereaved families and victims of the hostilities in Israel shows where these organizations have deteriorated,” said Shaked.
“Israel has the right to defend itself and will continue”
She further added that “Israel has the right to defend itself and will continue to use all the tools at its disposal. Israel is a democratic country with a strong judicial system in contrast to the Palestinian Authority that funds terrorists with the blood of innocent victims on their hands.”

As mentioned, Salah Hammouri is a French citizen and a permanent resident of Israel, born in 1985. He was born in Kfar Aqab in the Jerusalem area, and has been active for many years in the ranks of the Palestinian terrorist organization “The Popular Front” (PFLP). During his life he organized, incited and planned to carry out terrorist attacks himself and for the organization against citizens and prominent figures in Israel such as Rabbi Ovadia Yosef ztzel. In light of his continued involvement in the terrorist organization, Hamouri was arrested several times in administrative detention.
The terrorist who was released in the Shalit deal and returned to terrorism was deported from Israel
Hamouri, 37 years old, used to be an activist of the Popular Front and as part of his membership in the terrorist organization he was involved in terrorist activities many times. Over the years Hamouri was arrested several times when in 2005 he went to prison to serve a 7-year sentence. Hamouri was released early following the Shalit deal, but after his release he returned to terrorist activity within the Popular Front and even rose to the top of the organization, which led to several arrests and Hamouri was even placed in administrative detention. Following this, Minister Shaked decided to revoke his residency and deport him from Israel. This morning he was indeed deported.
