 Brazilian Court Orders Police Probe Into Vacationing Israeli Soldier Over Gaza War Crimes

Hundreds of lawyers in nearby Chile have also filed a criminal complaint against an Israeli reservist on leave in the country who served in a battalion that destroyed countless homes in Gaza

A Brazilian federal court has ordered police to open an immediate investigation into an Israeli soldier accused of committing war crimes in Gaza who is currently on vacation in the country.

According to the Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF), a Belgium-based NGO supporting Palestinian rights, the federal court of Brazil’s federal district, citing Article 88 of the Brazilian Code of Criminal Procedure, “directed the Federal Police to urgently execute the investigative measures requested by the Federal Prosecutor.”

HRF said the court order “marks the first instance of a signatory state to the Rome Statute directly enforcing its provisions without relying on the International Criminal Court (ICC),” adding that it sets a “powerful precedent” for nations that adhere to international law to hold the perpetrators of the genocide in Gaza accountable for their actions.

“This is not a case of distant command,” said the foundation’s lead lawyer, Maira Pinheiro. “This individual actively contributed to the destruction of homes and livelihoods, and his own statements and behavior clearly align with the genocidal objectives in Gaza.”

HRF says the unnamed soldier has been involved “in massive demolitions of civilian homes in Gaza.”
