France issues arrest warrants for ‘Israeli’ women who blocked Gaza aid

• French judges have issued arrest warrants for Nili Kupfer-Naouri and Rachel Tuito, accusing the French-‘Israeli’ activists of complicity in genocide for organizing protests that physically blocked humanitarian aid trucks from entering Gaza.
• The warrants, enforceable across the EU, target the women’s roles in the groups "Israel Is Forever" and "Tsav 9"; however, both reside in ‘Israel’ and have denounced the legal move as "antisemitic madness," stating they do not intend to return to France.

France has issued arrest warrants for two French-‘Israeli’ women accused of complicity in genocide and incitement to genocide through their involvement in blocking humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza.

The warrants, issued by French investigating judges in the summer of 2025, target Nili Kupfer-Naouri, founder of the pro-‘Israel’ charity “Israel Is Forever”, and Rachel Tuito, spokesperson for the activist group Tsav 9.

These actions were revealed publicly in January 2026 when Kupfer-Naouri disclosed the proceedings in an interview.

The accused participated in protests that physically obstructed aid trucks at key border crossings, including Kerem Shalom and Nitzana, between January 2024 and May 2025.

“Israel Is Forever” mobilized volunteers and encouraged participation in these blockades, while Tsav 9 organized repeated disruptions, arguing that such aid benefited Hamas.

French authorities view these efforts as contributing to the deprivation of essential supplies for Gaza's civilian population, amid a broader siege that has exacerbated humanitarian conditions.

The legal proceedings fall under France's jurisdiction over international crimes, handled by the Central Office for Combating Crimes Against Humanity and Hate Crimes.

The warrants compel the individuals to appear for questioning and are enforceable across the European Union, though they do not automatically result in detention.

This case marks a notable expansion of "complicity in genocide" to include civilian interference with aid, bypassing standard approval from the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor's Office.

Complaints prompting the investigation were filed by several organizations, including the French-Palestinian collective Nidal, the French Jewish Union for Peace, and Palestinian human rights groups such as Al-Haq, Al-Mezan, and the Palestinian Center for Human Rights.

These plaintiffs argue that the blockades constituted deliberate acts to withhold life-sustaining resources, aligning with dehumanization and genocidal intent during the ‘Israeli’ assault on Gaza.

Kupfer-Naouri has denounced the warrants as "antisemitic madness" and stated she has no plans to return to France, potentially barring her from entering the country.

Tuito echoed similar sentiments, criticizing French justice for prioritizing pro-Palestinian complaints while ignoring allegations against left-wing politicians for supporting terrorism.

Both women reside in ‘Israel’ and maintain their actions were peaceful protests against aid diversion.
