The decision was confirmed by France’s interior minister, Bruno Retailleau, who stated that Omar, 43, had made comments on his social media in 2023 that supported terrorism.
Omar, who was born in Saudi Arabia, left his father at the age of 19 and has lived in various countries, including Sudan and Afghanistan.
