Facts

The facts concern actions to block humanitarian aid to Gaza between January and May 2024, notably at the Nitzana (Israel/Egypt) and Kerem Shalom (Israel/Gaza) border crossings.

Procedure

In November 2024, two complaints were lodged by “Avocats pour la justice au Proche-Orient” and “Coordination des appels pour une paix juste au Proche-Orient”, and the association “Union juive française pour la paix”.

Following these complaints, the French national anti-terrorist prosecutor’s office opened, on 22 May 2025, two investigations for complicity in genocide, incitement to genocide and complicity in crimes against humanity against French-Israelis nationals suspected of having taken part in actions to block humanitarian aid to Gaza between January and May 2024.
