An Israeli soldier facing war crimes charges related to the Gaza genocide has fled Brazil to avoid arrest, highlighting the growing possibility of international legal action against Israeli personnel involved in the war.
An Israeli soldier, who was under investigation in Brazil for alleged war crimes committed during the Gaza genocide, has reportedly fled the country to avoid arrest.
According to Israeli sources, the soldier, who had a warrant out for his arrest, managed to escape once he learned that Brazilian authorities were set to question him. The soldier’s family confirmed that they are in contact with him, though they have refused to disclose his current whereabouts, expressing hopes that he will soon return to Israel.
This incident follows a federal court ruling in Brazil ordering the investigation of the soldier, based on charges brought by the human rights organization, Hind Rajab. The organization accuses the soldier of participating in the destruction of entire civilian neighborhoods in Gaza as part of a systematic campaign aimed at creating inhumane living conditions for Palestinians.
The allegations also include accusations of genocide and crimes against humanity under international law. ‘Hind Rajab’ says to have gathered over 500 pages of evidence, including intelligence from open sources, to support these claims. (more...)
