Hind Rajab Foundation files case to ICC over killing of Gaza journalists

Middle East Eye3 days ago
The Hind Rajab Foundation and Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) have said they will file a joint complaint to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in response to the killing of five Al Jazeera journalists in an Israeli air strike on Sunday. They also call for the ICC to include all journalist killings in Gaza in its Palestine investigation.
'The evidence is there,' the Hind Rajab Foundation wrote. 'The legal foundation is unshakable. The jurisdiction is established beyond question. What remains is for the International Criminal Court to move past statements of 'grave concern' and take the decisive step that justice demands: act.'
The investigation identified senior Israeli military officials within the chain of command, and the PCHR gave details of other Al Jazeera journalists killed by Israel after being targeted by public smear campaigns. The complaint accuses the named individuals of war crimes and genocide.
