Israel detains French professore over pro-Hamas views

PIC reported:

Israel kidnapped a few weeks ago the Palestinian-French law professor Ra'ed Abu Badwiya from his home in Nablus city, AFP news agency said on Monday.

The IOF arrested 41-year-old Ra'ed Abu Badwiya on suspicion of spreading pro-Hamas views among his students at An-Najah national university in Nablus city.

Abu Badwiya's wife appealed to the French government to immediately intervene and press Israel to release her husband, especially since her husband is a French citizen.

"My husband has French nationality and France is a country of law, so it should not accept the detention of one of its citizens in Israel, which flouts the international law and treaties," the wife stated.
