French authorities issued arrest warrants for two activists over alleged aid blockade in Gaza, a first under genocide law.

Two French-Israeli activists, Nili Kupfer-Naouri and Rachel Touitou, have been placed under arrest by French authorities on charges of complicity in genocide for allegedly obstructing humanitarian aid to Gaza between January 2024 and May 2025. Their involvement in protests at border crossings is the subject of the investigation, which was spurred by complaints from Palestinian human rights organizations. Prosecutors claim that their actions created circumstances that could be considered genocide under international law. The 2025 warrants do not call for the women to be detained; instead, they require them to appear before a judge. Since this is the first time a nation has filed such charges for obstructing aid under genocide law, the case represents a significant legal development.
