French authorities have issued two arrest warrants against two Israeli women over alleged “complicity in genocide” in the Gaza Strip.

The French newspaper Le Monde reported on Monday that the two right-wing Israeli women, Nili Kupfer-Naouri and Rachel Tioutou, who also hold French citizenship, are accused of obstructing the entry of humanitarian aid into the war-hit Gaza Strip.

According to the report, Kupfer-Naouri, a French-Israeli lawyer and head of the organisation Israel Is Forever, and Tioutou, a spokesperson for the group Tsav 9, are suspected of blocking aid deliveries to Gaza.

Kupfer-Naouri confirmed the case and said: “The danger is that I will never be able to go to France, because I do not intend to enter French prisons.”

She added that other members of Tsav 9 are also under investigation in France.

Israeli media reports said that pro-Palestinian organisations are involved in the case brought against the two women, including the Palestinian group Al-Haq, which Israeli occupation authorities have previously designated as a “terrorist organisation”.
