The Hind Rajab Foundation has urged Belgium to arrest Sa’ar during his visit scheduled for February 18.
The Hind Rajab Foundation has filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC), seeking an arrest warrant for Israel’s Foreign Minister, Gideon Sa’ar, for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during Israel’s 15-month-long military assault on the Gaza Strip.
Sa’ar, a senior member of Netanyahu’s government and a key figure in Israel’s decision-making, “has played a central role in shaping and implementing policies that have led to mass displacement, collective punishment, and systematic attacks on Palestinian civilians,” the Brussels-based organization said in a statement on Sunday.
“His public statements and policy endorsements indicate direct and indirect participation in these crimes, as well as incitement to violence and obstruction of international justice mechanisms,” the organization added.
Noting that Sa’ar is scheduled to visit Brussels on February 18, the organization urged Belgium to “act under international law,” adding “No impunity for war criminals!”
The complaint – grounded in the Rome Statute – said the foundation, highlights “several grave charges” against the foreign minister, including war crimes and crimes against humanity. (more...)
