Chilean Lawyers Seek Justice: File Complaint Against Israeli Prime Minister for Crimes in Gaza
A group of nearly 100 Chilean lawyers, mostly of Palestinian descent, has filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. | The complaint alleges crimes against humanity, genocide, and war crimes committed in Gaza. Led by former ambassador Nelson Hadad, lawyer Rodolfo Marcone, and academics Roberto Mayorga, Juan Banderas, and Hassan Zeran, the group presented the complaint on December 22 in The Hague, with assistance from criminal lawyer Juan Carlos Manriquez. ● The complainants, who belong to the largest Palestinian community outside of the Palestinian State, are demanding an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and other individuals responsible for these alleged crimes. Nelson Hadad stressed that these crimes have been ongoing for nearly 90 days, with indiscriminate bombings targeting the population of Gaza and destroying entire residential neighborhoods, without distinguishing between civilians and combatants.
