Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo presented Abbas with the Grand Medaille de Vermeil de la Ville de Paris medal on September 15, 2015. The move made Abbas an honorary citizen of the French capital.

MP Habib spoke to Binyamin Horgan, the husband of Esther Horgan, who appealed to him to repeal the award which was given to Abbas. Esther was a French citizen, as is Binyamin.

Habib agreed with the demand, saying: "It is unbearable that the city of Paris, the city of lights, the capital of France, pays homage to a person who publicly supports terrorism and pays terrorists in return for their attacks."
