Hamdi Quran is a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). He was one of a four-man PFLP team who, on 17 October 2001 assassinated Rehavam Ze'evi, the founder of the right-wing Moledet party, who mainly advocated for "population transfer".
In 2002, Quran was sentenced by the Palestinian National Authority to 18 years for the crime and imprisoned in a Jericho prison under the supervision of British and American wardens under a deal worked out between US President, George W. Bush and Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, in April 2002.
