France has launched an investigation into alleged crimes committed by Israel during a May 18 naval operation that intercepted a flotilla carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza. Israeli forces seized more than 430 activists from various countries in international waters as the group attempted to break through the blockade of Palestinian territory to deliver humanitarian supplies. The investigation represents a significant diplomatic development as France examines potential criminal conduct by Israeli forces during the controversial maritime operation that drew international criticism for intercepting civilian vessels in international waters.
