Conflict in the Middle East

French NGOs 'complicit in genocide'.

A French organisation and a French-Palestinian woman filed a complaint on Tuesday against the French managers of two pro-Israel NGOs for "complicity in genocide and incitement to commit genocide in Gaza", according to a statement shared with Middle East Eye, while a second complaint on the same grounds has been filed on Wednesday by two other organisations.

The first complaint - against the groups "Israel is Forever" and "Tzav-9", presented as having French nationality - targets actions by French nationals to block humanitarian aid to Palestinians in the coastal strip devastated by Israel's onslaught, which has killed more than 44,282 people since October 2023.

The plaintiffs are the French Jewish Union for Peace and a woman who has 13 family members in the Gaza Strip. They are supported by the Urgence Palestine NGO.

The complaint, filed with the senior investigating judge of the crimes against humanity division of the Paris judicial court, is the first brought under the grounds of genocide, the most serious in the hierarchy of crimes, before the French court.

Macron has also said that he won't comply with the ICC arrest warrants. I wonder if this is the tip of the iceberg.

I am glad this action has been taken. As a French citizen, I am deeply ashamed that some of my compatriots are complicit in the genocide of Palestinians.
My first reaction to Macron's statement was one of anger and outrage. Then I read more about it ( from reputable sources, in English and French) and what I learnt is that France was heavily involved in the ceasefire deal between Israel and Lebanon. The deal presented to Netanyahu was to " totally withdraw his troops from Lebanon and he won't be arrested as long as he remains prime minister."
