Massive New War Crimes Dossier Just Hit the ICC
A 120-page war crimes dossier has landed at the ICC & Israel is in full crisis mode. This could be the most damning legal case Israel has ever faced.
Israel’s fiercest new enemy doesn’t command rockets or militias — it runs on paperwork. The Hind Rajab Foundation has done what armies, sanctions, and summits never could: it’s dragged Israel’s war on Gaza into a courtroom. In The Hague, not a trench.
In a 120-page dossier, this Brussels-based legal outfit has named twenty-four Israeli soldiers and commanders over the k*lling of a six-year-old girl – the very girl the foundation itself has taken its name from - her family, and two medics — an atrocity Israel spent getting on for two years now, insisting was “fog of war.” Well the fog has apparently cleared. Satellite data, intercepts, and forensic modelling have done the job others wouldn’t. And for once, Israel can’t b*mb the evidence. The world’s most documented war crime has just become Israel’s most uncontrollable crisis.
Israel’s next major battle might not be in Gaza — it’s looking increasingly likely that it will be in The Hague. Just yesterday, a small Brussels-based legal organisation that has for some time been punching well above its weight, dropped a case file that Israel has been dreading for some time. The Hind Rajab Foundation, named after the six-year-old girl in question here, k*lled in Gaza along with her family, have filed a 120-page dossier with the International Criminal Court and Israel is now scrambling to contain the fallout.
