Hind Rajab group urges Greece to arrest 'Israeli' Defense Minister

The Brussels-based human rights organization Hind Rajab announced Wednesday that it filed a formal complaint with Greek authorities calling for the arrest and investigation of 'Israeli' Defense Minister Yisrael Katz over alleged war crimes committed in Gaza.

Katz has been visiting Athens since Monday on an official trip scheduled to end Thursday. The complaint was submitted to the Greek Supreme Court prosecutor, urging urgent legal action due to the short duration of Katz’s stay.

Hind Rajab asserts that Katz’s policies and conduct amount to acts of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity under Article 2 of the Genocide Convention and Article 6 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. The complaint emphasizes that Greece’s jurisdiction and legal obligations are activated while Katz is present on Greek soil.
