US EditionFrance Issues Summonses to Two Israeli-French Women Suspected of Blocking Gaza Aid
French authorities summoned two dual nationals over alleged genocide complicity for actions that blocked Gaza aid, marking a first legal use of genocide law for aid obstruction.
- On Monday, French judges issued summonses for two Israeli women, Nili Kupfer‑Naouri and Rachel Touitou, accused of blocking aid trucks to the Gaza Strip, Le Monde reported.
- Earlier this year, investigating judges in France opened a probe after complaints from Franco‑Palestinian citizens and human rights organizations, citing actions between Jan. 1 and Nov. 26, 2024, and May 2025; summonses were issued last summer but only recently made public.
- Tzav 9 led physical blockades at Kerem Shalom and Nitzana crossings while Israel Is Forever mobilized volunteers, according to French authorities' allegations.
- Legal sources say judges bypassed PNAT, using summonses that can compel appearances and have EU-wide reach in principle, though they are not arrest warrants and do not automatically lead to pretrial detention.
- Kupfer‑Naouri denounced the move as `antisemitic persecution` and warned of a dangerous precedent, while Touitou accused judicial bias and complainants hailed the summonses as proof of the `power of the Franco‑Palestinian diaspora`.
