French Stevedores Refuse to Move Military Cargo Bound for Israel

HeadlineJun 06, 2025

In southern France, dock workers at a port outside Marseille have refused to move military cargo bound for Israel, to protest the Netanyahu government’s assault on Gaza. The secretary-general of France’s trade union federation told reporters, “It is unacceptable that [union dock workers] should be the ones forced to uphold the fundamental principles of international law and French values. The government must immediately block all arms deliveries to the State of Israel.”
