France launches investigations into Gaza war crimes

France has opened two investigations into alleged complicity and incitement of genocide after French-Israelis were accused of obstructing humanitarian aid destined for Gaza, Al-Monitor via AFP reported on June 6th.

The anti-terror prosecutor’s office (PNAT) confirmed the probes will examine potential complicity in crimes against humanity between January and May last year. The investigations follow legal complaints.

The first complaint was by the Jewish French Union for Peace (UFJP) and a French-Palestinian over French people from the staunch pro-Israel organisations “Israel is Forever” and “Tzav-9”.

The second complaint, submitted by the advocacy group, Lawyers for Justice in the Middle East (CAPJO), alleged that “Israel is Forever” members have obstructed aid convoys.
