The Hind Rajab Foundation criticises Belgian authorities for not taking stronger action as diplomatic row worsens.
Belgian prosecutors have referred a war crimes complaint against two Israeli soldiers to the International Criminal Court (ICC), following allegations that they participated in atrocities in Gaza.
The Hind Rajab Foundation, which filed the complaint alongside the Global Legal Action Network (GLAN), confirmed that the Belgian Federal Prosecutor has decided to forward the case to the ICC. The foundation said the decision was made in accordance with Belgium’s obligations under international law.
“The International Criminal Court is currently investigating possible serious violations of humanitarian law in the Palestinian territories,” the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office said, according to Belgium’s Belga news agency.
The complaint centres on two Israeli soldiers, allegedly members of the Givati Brigade. They were seen waving their military unit’s flag during the performance of an Israeli DJ at the Tomorrowland music festival in Belgium.
