\nFrench anti-terror prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into French-Israeli citizens accused of blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza, potentially implicating them in genocide and crimes against humanity.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

French prosecutors have opened a formal investigation into whether certain \u201cFrench-Israeli activists\u201d may be complicit in genocide and responsible for crimes against humanity, following allegations they obstructed humanitarian aid shipments destined for the Gaza Strip, US media reported<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n

According to the American digital newspaper Politico, France\u2019s National Anti-Terrorist Prosecutor\u2019s Office confirmed that the inquiry was initiated after two nongovernmental organizations filed legal complaints in November.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The events under scrutiny reportedly occurred between January and May 2024 in Israel, Egypt, and the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n

Under French law, individuals habitually residing in France can be prosecuted for crimes such as genocide or crimes against humanity committed abroad.<\/p>\n

Although the prosecutor\u2019s office did not name specific individuals or organizations under investigation, local media reports suggest that two Zionist groups\u2014Isra\u00ebl is Forever and Tzav 9\u2014are the main focus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Both groups have been previously linked to campaigns opposing humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza.<\/p>\n

According to Politico, Tzav 9 had been subjected to sanctions by both the European Union and the United States earlier this year for its alleged role in blocking aid trucks. However, the US Treasury rescinded its sanctions against the group on the day Donald Trump assumed the presidency.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the investigation, a spokesperson for Tzav 9 reportedly dismissed the case in a post on social media platform X, writing that the legal action was \u201ca joke.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m being targeted because I dare campaign and protest so that the humanitarian aid doesn\u2019t fall into the hands of a terrorist organization such as Hamas,\u201d the spokesperson claimed.<\/p>\n

Politico noted that neither Tzav 9 nor Isra\u00ebl is Forever responded to media inquiries by the time of publication.<\/p>\n

This legal move coincides with mounting international pressure on Israel to facilitate the entry of humanitarian assistance into Gaza.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Ongoing Genocide<\/b><\/p>\n

Since Israel\u2019s reneging on the ceasefire on March 18, it has killed and wounded thousands of Palestinians throughout the Gaza Strip through a bloody and ongoing aerial bombardment.<\/p>\n

On October 7, 2023, following a Palestinian Resistance operation in southern Israel, the Israeli military launched a genocidal war against the Palestinians, killing over 54,000, wounding more than 125,000, with over 14,000 still missing.<\/p>\n

Despite habitual condemnation by many countries around the world of the Israeli genocide, little has been done to hold Israel accountable.<\/p>\n

Israel is currently under investigation for the crime of genocide by the International Court of Justice, while accused war criminals \u2014 including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu \u2014 are now officially wanted by the International Criminal Court.<\/p>\n

The Israeli genocide has been largely defended, supported, and financed by Washington and a few other Western powers.<\/p>\n
