File photo of Palestinian activist, Marwan Barghouti
A French court has nullified a Paris suburb's decision to offer honorary citizenship to the Palestinian activist Marwan Barghouti, who is currently serving multiple prison sentences in Israel. The Administrative Court of Montreuil ruled that the June decision made by the Aubervilliers municipality, which is run by the Communist Party, could affect public order.
The judges said that the municipality's decision involves a major misjudgement because it is about an issue that is related to French foreign policy towards an international conflict. The ruling was made after the National Bureau for Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism filed a complaint against the Aubervilliers decision.
The municipality decided to honour Barghouti because it regards him as "a man of peace and dialogue working for a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."

Shooter, a member of the PA's elite Force 17 unit, arrested after calling police and boasting of attack; four other accomplices also arrested.
Israeli security forces arrested the terrorist who killed Israeli hiker Danny Gonen near the settlement Dolev in the West Bank, along with four other suspects, it was cleared for publication on Wednesday.
The shooter was identified as Muhammed Abu Shaheen, 30 years old from Qalandiya, is a member of the Palestinian Authority's elite Force 17 unit. He was imprisoned between 2006-2008 after confessing his intention to carry out a terror attack.
During questioning, Abu Shaheen confessed to the shooting and said he had collected intelligence before committing the attack. He also admitted to six other shooting attacks in the last year, including one in November 2014 in Al-Ram, in which a soldier was wounded.
The five were arrested about a week and a half after the attack, when troops raided the suspects' homes.
According to investigators, there was no connection between the arrested cell members and the cell that committed the terror attack near Shvut Rachel, in which Israeli Malachi Rosenfeld was killed, or the shooting at an ambulance near Beit El. However, the Shin Bet reportedly made new discoveries about those attacks over the last few days.
Aharon Gonen, Danny's uncle, said he had spoken to the victim's mother and that the arrests had brought back very difficult emotions. "She is still upset," he said. "Every development or event causes a flood of emotions and brings up all the thoughts and longing again. We never for a moment doubted that security forces would get their hands on the terrorists, and we also knew it could take days, weeks, or month."
Gonen said the family was told earlier in the week that progress has been made in the case and that Palestinian suspects have been arrested.
The attack took place on June 19, when Gonen and a friend were driving away from a spring near the Dolev settlement in the Binyamin area of the West Bank. A Palestinian man signaled for them to stop as if to ask for help before firing at them from point-blank range, critically wounding Gonen.
The case reached a turning point when the Judea and Samaria District emergency center received a call from the attacker, saying he committed a terror attack and shot Israelis. The Shin Bet then traced the call, leading them to Qalandiya. One of the arrestees was Amjad Aduan, 35, who was previously detained for planning terror attacks. He is suspected of supplying Abu Shaheen with ammunition and served as a lookout at several shooting attacks.
The other suspects who were arrested are Asraf Amar, a 24-year-old member of PA military Intelligence, Fatah member Osama Assad, 29, who was released in the Shalit deal and is suspected of hiding the gun that Abu Shaheen used for the attack in his home; and Muhammed Aduan, 37, who has no history of security offenses, who is also suspected of hiding weapons for Abu Shaheen.
The terror cell belongs to the Tanzim militia founded by Fatah, which has been working to rebuild its infrastructure in the West Bank over the past year. These are young terror operatives, who do not answer to Fatah or the Palestinian Authority.

Palestinian ex-prisoner Khader Adnan was transferred to hospital overnight Tuesday after his health status had gone downhill, the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society reported Wednesday.

Israeli authorities have released Khader Adnan for the second time in two days after midnight, Monday, after briefly rearresting the veteran Palestinian hunger striker in East Jerusalem, just a day after he was released from 11 months in prison.
The Palestinian liaison office moved Adnan from an Israeli detention center to Beitunia west of Ramallah at around 1 a.m., and he was then taken by car to his home village of Arraba in southern Jenin.
He was detained on Monday evening as he was heading into Jerusalem's Old City to take part in Laylat al-Qader prayers and it was found that he did not have the necessary permits.
An Israeli police spokesperson told Ma'an News Agency that he had "entered Jerusalem illegally."
Israeli police held him for several hours for questioning before they decided to release him.
The Palestinian liaison office said they were satisfied with Adnan's health following the detention.
Laylat al-Qader, meaning the Night of Destiny, takes place toward the end of the holy month of Ramadan, and according to Muslim belief marks the night the first verses of the Quran were revealed to the prophet Muhammad.
Thousands of Palestinians were expected to visit Al-Aqsa mosque compound to mark the occasion, although Israel laid down stringent access restrictions ahead of it.
All Palestinian men between the ages of 12 and 30 were denied entry into occupied East Jerusalem, while men between the ages of 30 and 50 required Israeli permits.
Women between 16 and 30 also required permits to enter the city.
The Israeli authorities previously agreed to release Adnan in the early hours of Sunday after they struck a deal to end a 55-day hunger strike he began in June to protest the Israeli practice of administrative detention. He was detained in July last year and sentenced to administrative detention for the 10th time in his life.
His hunger strike, which brought him near death by the time it concluded last month, was the second he undertook, following a 66-day long hunger strike in 2012.
The deal struck with Israel on June 29 was only possible after Adnan withdrew his demand that Israel agree to never place him under administrative detention again.
