A pro-Palestinian NGO, the Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF), has lodged a complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar. The HRF is seeking an arrest warrant for Sa’ar, accusing him of war crimes and crimes against humanity allegedly committed during Israel’s military assault on Gaza since October 7, 2023.
The complaint was filed ahead of Sa’ar's anticipated trip to Brussels next week. While Israel and the United States are not ICC members, Belgium is a signatory to the Rome Statute. The HRF has called on Belgian authorities to cooperate with the ICC and prevent Sa’ar from evading justice while on European soil.
