UK, France and Germany to Meet Zelenskyy on Peace Talks France Agrees Rescue Package for Europe’s Last Amino Acid Maker France Opens Investigation Into Israeli Treatment of Pro-Palestinian Flotilla Activists French activists who took part in a Gaza-bound foreign aid flotilla accuse Israeli forces of abuse and torture. French anti-terrorism prosecutors say they have opened a preliminary investigation into suspected “torture” and “war crimes” over Israel’s alleged mistreatment of French activists who took part in a Gaza-bound aid flotilla last month. The probe was opened on Friday following a referral from the foreign ministry late last month, said the national counterterrorism prosecutor’s office (PNAT), after activists on the Global Sumud Flotilla accused Israeli authorities of severe mistreatment during their detention.
