Question 11383 — foreign policy

Summary

Mr. Gilles Le Gendre draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the situation of the Franco-Palestinian lawyer Salah Hamouri, currently administratively detained in Israel. Mr. Hamouri was arrested on the night of August 23, 2017 in East Jerusalem by the Israeli army and then placed in administrative detention. Mr. Hamouri has now been imprisoned for ten months and his detention has just been extended by three months. There Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 specifies that recourse to administrative detention should only take place in cases of “compelling security reasons”. However, Mr. Hamouri's defense does not have access to the file and therefore does not know the possible charges against him. He would like to know his position on this situation, which may involve abusive administrative detention, and any steps taken by the French State which would make it possible to put an end to the administrative detention of Mr. Hamouri.
