I wonder if others would be equally denied. Perhaps āguilt blindedā is too kind an explanation.
Professor Abu-Sitta could still speak at the French senate if they quickly rig up a screen as was done for President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on occasions when he couldnāt travel. The worse omission will be the personal contact and individual conversations that can have a powerful effect on what people feel and do next.

The ban was issued over a year ago so not directly related to the current situation although, it seems, Germany has taken the opportunity to enforce it now.
Be interesting to know why such a well respected surgeon should have had the ban issued and whether it is legally enforceable outside Germany.

Nowadays it seems you can be arrested for criticising Israel in France too, using terrorisum charges!
There was an interesting article in Mediapart concerning the amount of French politicians, social workers, union leaders etc that have been arrested and questioned on terrorism charges. IIRC +/- 370.
Iāll try to find the link but itās behind a paywall.
