Hind Rajab Foundation chief discusses ICC case filed over journalists’ murder in Gaza
Two NGOs are bringing a case before the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, against senior Israeli military commanders for allegedly authorising the murder of the four Al Jazeera staff and two freelancers.
The Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) have named the Israeli chief of general staff and seven others. They also accuse Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of “presiding over a strategy to eliminate journalists”.
Their case is based on investigations reconstructing the attack, intelligence reports and expert military analysis. Dyab Abou Jahjah, the chairman of Hind Rajab Foundation, says court cases stand a chance of holding individuals responsible for killing journalists.
‘If you don’t speak up against genocide, you are complicit with it’: Cape Town protester
Usuf Chikte of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign has told Al Jazeera from a vigil for the journalists killed in Gaza on Sunday, held in South Africa’s Cape Town, that silence is complicity.
“It has been 96 weeks, week upon week, that we have protested at the church, St George’s Cathedral, the church of Desmond Tutu who said that if you don’t speak up against a genocide, against an oppression then you are complicit with it,” he said.
“Israel is killing and silencing the journalists who are telling us what is happening [in Gaza],” he added.

Protesters in London tape mouths shut at demonstration against Israel’s killing of journalists in Gaza
Footage verified by Al Jazeera’s Sanad fact-checking agency shows large numbers of protesters in central London gathered to demonstrate against Israel’s killing of journalists in Gaza, including four Al Jazeera staff and two freelancers.
Many attending the silent demonstration, held outside the Palestine House cultural hub in central London, had their mouths taped shut, to represent Israel’s silencing of the media, or held up pictures of the slain journalists, who were killed in an Israeli strike while working outside al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City on Sunday.
The protest was one of many held in solidarity with the killed journalists around the world.
