Since 2024, HRF has submitted over a 100 criminal complaints and other legal filings across more than 30 jurisdictions, resulting in arrests, police interrogations, and criminal investigations around the world

Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF)

Monday August 10, 2026

Throughout the month of July, the Hind Rajab Foundation launched a new wave of legal actions across Europe and the United States, targeting suspected perpetrators-from individual soldiers to senior political figures-and challenging authorities that delayed action or sought to sidestep their obligations under international law.

Italy:

A criminal complaint was filed against Israeli soldier Arik Ben Asulin over his involvement in the destruction of civilian infrastructure in Gaza.

Portugal:

While Israeli soldier Etamar Ivry was vacationing in Lisbon, HRF filed a criminal complaint over his role in the destruction of civilian infrastructure in Gaza.

Belgium:

After identifying an Israeli soldier at Tomorrowland, HRF filed an urgent criminal complaint over war crimes in Gaza.

The Netherlands:

HRF filed complaints against Israeli soldiers Almog Harari and Leon Khlebnikov, and Knesset members Ram Ben Barak and Moshe Solomon.

SUPPORT OUR WORK

For decades, perpetrators of crimes against Palestinians have traveled, studied, vacationed, and attended international events abroad with little fear of legal consequences.

HRF's legal actions are now shrinking the space in which these Israeli soldiers and senior political figures have long expected to find safe haven and impunity.

Italy

In Italy, HRF filed a criminal complaint against Israeli soldier Arik Ben Asulin for his direct involvement in the destruction of residential neighborhoods and civilian infrastructure in Gaza, including Al-Azhar University. While serving with the 749th Combat Engineering Battalion, Ben Asulin documented his participation in demolition operations on social media. The unit has been implicated in systematic destruction across Gaza, and its deputy commander publicly described its mission as "flattening Gaza."

Portugal

In Portugal, HRF acted while Israeli soldier Etamar Ivry was vacationing in Lisbon, filing a criminal complaint over his role in destroying civilian infrastructure to establish the Netzarim Corridor, created by Israel in order to bisect Gaza and forcibly depopulate the north. Like Ben Asulin, Ivry documented his participation in these crimes, posting videos of controlled demolitions with celebratory captions.

Belgium

In Belgium, HRF identified an Israeli soldier attending the Tomorrowland festival and filed an urgent complaint linking him to the destruction of civilian infrastructure in Gaza City and Rafah. The filing turned a trip abroad into legal exposure and pressed Belgian authorities to act before he could leave the country. This was not the first time HRF had pursued Israeli soldiers identified at the festival. In 2025, Belgian police detained and questioned two soldiers following an HRF complaint. The case was later referred to the ICC, demonstrating that Belgian authorities can act swiftly when suspects are identified on Belgian soil. The Netherlands In the Netherlands, HRF filed criminal complaints against Israeli soldiers Almog Harari and Leon Khlebnikov, and Knesset members Ram Ben Barak and Moshe Solomon: "

Harari for his role in the forcible displacement of Palestinian families and destruction of schools used as civilian shelters in Beit Lahia. "

Khlebnikov for participating in-and publicly mocking-the demolition of a school in Rafah, among other crimes. "

Ben Barak and Solomon, while attending the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly in The Hague, for direct and public incitement to genocide through their advocacy for the mass displacement of Palestinians and Israeli resettlement of Gaza.

Lithuania

In Lithuania, HRF took its case against Israeli soldier Sean Gor to the Constitutional Court, challenging authorities' refusal to investigate his alleged participation in war crimes and genocide on the grounds that the crimes were committed outside Lithuanian territory, despite Gor living and studying dentistry in the country. HRF argues that this restrictive interpretation of universal jurisdiction effectively grants impunity to alleged perpetrators and violates both the Lithuanian Constitution and Lithuania's binding international obligations.

United States

Following HRF's criminal complaint to the U.S. Department of Justice and calls for his investigation in New York, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir canceled his planned visit to the United States. His cancellation is not justice, but it marks a significant shift. Israeli political and military leaders have long traveled internationally with little fear of legal consequences.

Ben-Gvir's decision to cancel his visit amid the prospect of legal scrutiny signals that this impunity is finally beginning to erode and the pursuit of accountability is having real-world consequences.

Offensive Legal Action

These cases do not end with a filing. HRF continues to pursue each one -- submitting evidence, challenging delays, and pressing authorities to investigate, act, and fulfill their obligations under international law.

Since 2024, HRF has submitted over a 100 criminal complaints and other legal filings across more than 30 jurisdictions, resulting in arrests, police interrogations, and criminal investigations around the world.

We continue to document. We continue to identify. We continue to file. And we continue to pursue accountability wherever the law provides an avenue for justice.

The message is clear: there will be no safe haven for perpetrators of crimes against the Palestinian people.
