France Opens Investigation Into Israeli Treatment of Pro-Palestinian Flotilla Activists

French prosecutors said on Friday that they had opened a preliminary investigation into the treatment of French activists who have accused the Israeli authorities of abuse after the pro-Palestinian flotilla they were on was intercepted en route to Gaza. The prosecutors, part of France’s antiterrorism office, said in a statement that they would investigate the activists’ allegations of torture and war crimes. The flotilla’s detention drew increased international attention after an Israeli government minister last month posted a video of himself taunting detained activists. The Israeli authorities have denied mistreating the activists, who were released and deported to Turkey. The French investigation comes as Israel faces increasing diplomatic isolation, especially among longtime European allies, over the course of the Israeli military campaign in Gaza that followed the Hamas-led attack on Israel in 2023. Pro-Palestinian activists have repeatedly tried to challenge Israel’s naval blockade of the Gaza Strip and deliver aid there to alleviate the enclave’s humanitarian crisis , and ramped up those efforts after Israel tightened restrictions during the war. Last month, a group of activists, including the French ones whose accusations are to be investigated, made another attempt and were intercepted in the Mediterranean. After one ship with that flotilla was halted, Israel’s far-right national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, posted a video of himself taunting activists while they were handcuffed and pinned down to the deck of a ship, drawing outrage both abroad and at home.
