#France / Potential Prosecution of Franco-Israeli Soldiers for Crimes in Gaza War
The French Foreign Ministry announced on March 21 that legal proceedings could be initiated against Franco-Israeli soldiers who committed crimes in the Gaza Strip. Several viral videos on social media show binational citizens carrying out acts that may constitute war crimes.
Aymeric Caron, Deputy of the French National Assembly:
[…] “The French people who are participating in the Israeli military campaign in Gaza for the past five months and who are committing well-documented war crimes will have to be prosecuted upon their return to France.”

Hopefully every other european country will follow.@khayozu@mastodon.social I’m pretty sure there are national laws relating to divided loyalties following ISIS recruitment of Europeans, in the context of counter terrorism for instance or humanitarian laws. But there could be a distinction between serving in an ally or enemy army.
