Palestinian-British doctor Ghassan Abu Sitta revealed on Wednesday that the travel ban imposed on him by Germany was purely administrative, noting that the judge had lifted it after "a quick glance" at it.
In an interview with Al Mayadeen, Abu Sitta affirmed that his fight would continue until every detail of the Israeli genocide in Gaza is uncovered, every patient and injured Palestinian gets the treatment they deserve, and every martyr gets justice.

Abu Sitta said he expects to be the target of more harassment campaigns, noting that his family had been harassed by the London police when he was volunteering in Gazan hospitals.
The Palestinian doctor further emphasized that these were tactics to intimidate and silence voices calling for the end of the genocide of the people of Gaza, stressing that he is still committed to the pursuit of exposing Israeli crimes to all international forums.

Dr Ghassan Abu Sitta defeats Germany's Schengen Area travel ban
Ghassan Abu Sitta announced on May 14 that the travel ban stopping him from entering the Schengen Area countries in the European Union has been lifted.
The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) said that the decision to lift the ban came after a German court accepted the appeal submitted by his lawyers.
This successful legal appeal comes after he was banned from entering France and Germany in recent weeks where Abu Sitta was due to speak about the 43 days he spent in Gaza in October and November last year.
Attempts to stop him from testifying came after he had already testified before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the genocide case filed by South Africa against the Israeli occupation.
After leaving Gaza, where he treated thousands of injured Palestinians, Abu Sitta was keen all through the last period to show the reality of hospitals and the health sector and the tragic humanitarian conditions that Gaza is going through as a result of the Israeli war against the latter.
Abu Sitta talked about the cases he came across during his work in Gaza where he witnessed cases of extremely difficult injuries, especially among children, due to the advanced weapons being used by the IOF against Gaza.
