French jurists appeal to judge to stop military shipment to Israel
Jurists for the Respect of International Law (JURDI) have appealed to an administrative judge to suspend the delivery of military cargo destined for Israel.
The group of French lawyers and jurists says it “filed an urgent request with the Administrative Court of Montreuil, France” to suspend the military cargo in transit through France’s Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport to Elbit Systems in Israel from Swedish company Swebor Stal Svenska AB.
“Elbit Systems, the main arms supplier to the Israeli army, plays a central role in the current war effort, including in the Gaza Strip,” the group said in a statement shared on X.
JURDI said it wanted to alert French authorities to “possible complicity” in international crimes, which it said were “incompatible with the values of the French people”.
“Authorising the uncontrolled transit of armoured vehicles destined for Elbit Systems would be equivalent to facilitating, from French territory, the commission of international crimes already denounced by the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court.”
Majority of Danes believe Israel’s actions in Gaza have gone ‘too far’
Public opposition to Israel’s military operations in Gaza is rising in Denmark with nearly 57 percent of Danes now saying the actions have been “too far-reaching”, according to an opinion poll conducted by Epinion for the Danish broadcaster DR.
The survey highlights a notable shift in public sentiment over the past nine months. In October, 45 percent of respondents expressed the same concern.
The survey also found growing support for political action. Almost half of the respondents believe the EU should suspend its association agreement with Israel, which was signed in 2000 to promote economic and political cooperation.
Only 22 percent opposed such a move.
Who are the heartless 43%...
