A group of French lawyers and jurists 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 Jurists for the Respect of International Law (Jurdi) said in a statement shared on X.
'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,' the group said.
