Jacqueline Rivault has lodged a complaint with the Paris court regarding alleged war crimes, asserting that her two grandchildren, killed by Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, were French nationals. The complaint claims the strikes are part of a larger Israeli strategy of genocide against Palestinians. With expansive judicial powers, French courts can investigate crimes against humanity even if they occur outside the country, especially when French nationals are involved. This case brings to light ongoing debates regarding jurisdiction and the responsibilities of nations in addressing international humanitarian issues.
The complaint alleges that the air strike that killed two children in Gaza is part of a broader Israeli strategy to eradicate the Palestinian population.
Rivault's legal action emphasizes that the judicial powers of French courts regarding crimes committed abroad could potentially lead to significant legal repercussions for Israel.
