Salah Hamouri is the head of a Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) cell inside Israel. He directs it both from his current home in France, and in clandestine meetings with its members in various locations throughout Europe. Hamouri is a naturalized citizen of France.
More on the PFLP terrorist roaming free in France can be found here: “Shin Bet, police bust east Jerusalem terror cell headed by PFLP terrorist in France,” by Goldie Katz, Jerusalem Post, May 26, 2026:
Israel Police and the Shin Bet have foiled a terrorist cell consisting of east Jerusalem residents operating under instructions from a Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist living in France, the police announced on Tuesday.
Five PFLP-linked east Jerusalem residents were arrested in November and December of 2025 for questioning after they were suspected of having been recruited by Salah Hamouri, a senior PFLP terrorist.
Hamouri, a lawyer, has a history of active involvement in terrorist activity, including the 2005 attempted assassination of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, according to Israel Police.
Hamouri’s Israeli residency was revoked in 2022 due to his involvement in terror plots, and he was transferred to France, where he has citizenship….
Indictments were filed against two of the east Jerusalem residents recruited by Hamouri. They were charged with terrorism related offenses, including active membership in a terrorist organization, dealing in property for terrorist purposes, and attempted conspiracy to commit a crime that is an act of terrorism.
I assume that Israel has not yet presented its complete dossier on Hamouri, with the copious evidence of his PFLP activities, as compiled by the Shin Bet, and Israeli police, to the relevant French authorities. However, the French do not extradite their own citizens to non-European countries. So what is to be done? Could all the evidence of his PFLP activities be enough for a French court to strip him of his citizenship, and then to extradite him to Israel?
Even if that were possible, there are many French officials in the DGSI, the General Directorate for Internal Security, who are so worried about how Muslims in France will react if the government of France does indeed decide to deport him to Israel that they will persuade the government to let Hamouri keep his citizenship so that he can remain in France.
But his continued presence in France, now that Israel has made public his terrorist activities, is certainly an embarrassment to France. Can the French government try him as a terrorist in France, based on evidence Israel provides? Or would that, too, lead Muslims to stage violent protests on the streets? In order to relieve itself of his shameful presence, the French might allow Hamouri to slip through their fingers and to take a plane to Algeria, from which he will again recruit Palestinians to carry out terror attacks inside Israel. But at least he won’t be France’s problem. It’s a possibility.
In my hopeful moments, however, I allow myself to believe that once the Israelis present their mountain of evidence against him, Hamouri will be stripped of his French citizenship, and then extradited to Israel, as Gregory Peck used to say, PDQ.

Never forget. Ayatollah Kohmeni came from where? France. France paid for this flight, and there was a French flag on that plane as the barbarian stepped off of it. They knew very well what they were doing.
Never forget, the ungrateful French left NATO after we forgave their national debt twice, freed them from the German horde, rebuilt their country, and we sent our best experts to re design their inefficient industries.
The industrial ties between Islamic Iran and France are very suspicious to stay the least if you look into them. I will give one example. Go look at any Iranian city, you will see Peugeot everywhere. Who the hell wants a Peugeot, it is crappy. It is not natural.
Hearing these facts, is anybody here surprised this Islamic terrorist is living like a king? I suggest a book, the name I cannot remember right now. It is about an Islamic terrorist who worked for the DGSE of France, and he gives a great account of how they were very eager to work with him and his comrades. This one even made it to Afghanistan training camps. Did the French share their knowledge with us, their allies or even Israel? No they did not.
I will never fly into Paris or France ever again. They are such ungrateful proud snobs. They obviously hate us because their empire was trash and they are jealous of 🇺🇸.

It’s never sound strategy to count on France. Occasionally France will come through (e.g., the way it fought in WWI compared to WWII) but, statistically speaking, relying upon France is hardly a good idea. By contrast, counting on France to stab you in the back is actually a highly winning approach.

I admit to being royally annoyed by France, too. However, in WW2, French fores took a huge loss in covering the Dunkirk Evacuation. In WW2, their chief strategic flaw(and, indeed, it was a huge one) was counting on the Ardennes Forest being impassible.
Rabbi Menashe Bovit says
This is obviously a job for the Mossad. France cannot be trusted to do anything moral or just. The Mossad needs to go to France and assassinate this demonic Muslim terrorist and then when the French surrender monkeys cry deny it.

I am dumbfounded as to why there Muslims and Palestinians are so popular in Europe.
They couldn’t wait to forget about October 7, they hated that it happened, but not the way you and me did.
The Europeans expect Israel to take it on the chin. And then sit there and follow some human rights I guess while missiles drop on their heads. If Israel followed their recommended strategy, it would’ve been wiped out. No defending yourself allowed.
I’ve heard stories from guys I know. I guess there is a place in Belgium that is all Jewish. They are some jewelry stores there. These thuggish people show up and knock the hats off of them. And I’m sure much worse , but I heard there is all kinds of confrontations by Muslims. The deterrence is not there.
Kepha says
@Beans. Western Europe’s intelligentsia never forgave the USA for having made it impossible for them to live and work under the benign aegis of their idol Stalin. They’ve also never forgiven the ISraelis for both surviving and failing to become the Soviets’ foothold inc the ME.
Europeans love the “Palestinians” precisely because the “Palestinians” are a creation of Soviet intelligence. Prior to the 1967 War, they were just part of the “greater Arab nation”.
I love Europe, pray that it would wake up to the destruction being wreaked on it, and return to Christ. But, I’m also aware that European reaction can sometimes turn pretty damned ugly.

The only appropriate terrorist “cell” would be located inside of ADX Florence.

Just wasting tax dollars, foolish answer. I have a one dollar solution. Yours is millions of dollars.
Kepha says
Wasn’t PFLP founded by George Habash, who was of a Christian background?
