French Investigator Unveils Shocking Charges Against French-Israelis over Alleged Complicity in Genocide
A French investigating magistrate has issued summonses to two French-Israeli nationals, Nili Kupfer-Naouri and Rachel Touitou, accusing them of complicity in genocide over their alleged efforts to block humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza. The move marks a significant escalation in the investigation into allegations that extremist groups obstructed aid convoys.
Kupfer-Naouri, who supports an Israeli advocacy group called Israel is Forever, described the summons as "antisemitic madness" and vowed not to return to France. Her remarks came after she told a pro-Israel news site that the French investigation was unfair.
Touitou's lawyer claimed that the charges against her client were politically motivated and rooted in alleged non-violent protests by Tsav 9, a group opposed to even limited humanitarian aid shipments into Gaza.
The summonses are significant not only because they target two individuals from France but also because they set a precedent for investigating alleged complicity in genocide. This is the first time France has officially recognized blocking humanitarian aid as a crime against humanity.
Critics argue that Israel's actions during the war, including restricting aid shipments to Gaza, led to widespread hunger and famine. The investigation into Tsav 9 group members comes amid allegations of mass diversions of humanitarian aid by Hamas, which is unsubstantiated.
French authorities are also investigating pro-Israeli activists for allegedly inciting genocide. Sources indicate that up to 10 more individuals could face similar charges.
Palestinian advocacy groups have welcomed the move as a victory for justice and human rights. They see it as proof that France's justice system can recognize and act on alleged crimes against humanity, even when they involve French citizens.
However, the Israeli government has expressed concern over the investigation and its implications for the Jewish community in France.
