The acclaimed British Palestinian surgeon Ghassan Abu-Sittah was denied entry to France on Saturday despite an invitation to speak to members of the French Senate about his time volunteering with Doctors Without Borders in Gaza. This comes weeks after Germany barred Abu-Sittah from attending a Palestinian conference in Berlin. Germany has reportedly placed a one-year ban on Abu-Sittah from entering any country in Europe’s border-free zone.
