Summary of facts
In April and May 2026, 430 activists from various countries, including 37 French nationals, organized a flotilla to deliver humanitarian aid and break the humanitarian blockade of Gaza. The Israeli armed forces reportedly intercepted their boats, and several stated that they had been detained and had allegedly suffered physical and psychological violence during their detention. A video shows Itamar Ben Gvir, Israeli Minister of National Security, mocking the kneeling activists, which prompted a reaction from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Amnesty International France recalls that everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty according to law.
