Faced with the indignation of part of the French Jewish community, Grégory Doucet will not back down.
The City of Lyon maintains its invitation to Salah Hamouri who will participate on February 1 in a round table “Regards sur la Palestine” as part of the 30th anniversary of the Oslo agreements.
The Franco-Palestinian lawyer will speak alongside the Palestinian sociologist Abaher El Sakka, the president of Amnesty International France Jean-Claude Samouiller and Benoît Van Keirsbilck, director of Defense for Children International (DEI) Belgium.
Salah Hamouri was imprisoned in Israel between 2005 and 2011 for participating in the attempted assassination of Ovadia Yossef, Israel’s former chief rabbi. Released as part of a prisoner exchange with Palestine, he was expelled by Israel to France last December. In Lyon, he must in particular mention his conditions of detention.
“Anxious to maintain and maintain this permanent dialogue and this listening on both sides, a delegation from the City of Lyon will travel to Israel in the coming months”reacted the community led by environmentalists following the many voices rising against the arrival of Salah Hamouri next week.
