Israeli Soldiers Face Legal Risks Abroad Over Gaza Actions
Israeli soldiers involved in alleged war crimes in Gaza face little prosecution at home but risk arrest abroad, as highlighted by a recent case in Brazil. The Hind Rajab Foundation has launched multiple cases against Israeli military personnel, utilizing social media evidence to build their claims. Following a Brazilian court’s directive to investigate, an Israeli soldier fled the country. The Israeli government has responded with warnings to its soldiers about social media and travel, amid criticism of insufficient protection for them against potential prosecutions.
