Swiss prosecutors are reviewing complaints, including one by Legal Action Against Genocide, accusing Israeli President Isaac Herzog of “incitement to genocide” in Gaza during his visit to Davos.
Swiss federal prosecutors are reviewing multiple complaints filed against Israeli President Isaac Herzog, who is attending the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, concerning “incitement to genocide” in Gaza.
The Swiss Office of the Attorney General (OAG) confirmed to Swiss agency Keystone-ATS on Wednesday that it has received several complaints, including one filed by the NGO Legal Action Against Genocide, the Anadolu news agency reported.
The NGO reportedly seeks Herzog’s prosecution “for incitement to genocide and crimes against humanity.”
The OAG said it is following “standard procedures” to assess the allegations and is coordinating with the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs to address the issue of diplomatic immunity, which protects heads of state during official visits. (more...)
