(Times of Israel) A group of French imams toured the northern West Bank Thursday on the invitation of settler leaders. One of them, Hassen Chalghoumi, said support of boycotts of Israel ran against Quranic law.
Chalghoumi, who is well-known in France for his involvement in interfaith forums and initiatives, has received many death threats for his friendly ties with CRIF, the umbrella group representing French Jewish communities, and for visiting Israel several times.
This week he was part of a delegation of over 40 Muslim leaders hosted by the Samaria Regional Council. The meeting was organized by the European Leadership Network (ELNET), an organization that seeks to strengthen Israeli-European ties.
