Israel dismisses international investigations into alleged war crimes committed during the recent conflict in Gaza as 'propaganda activity'. Despite no warrants being issued, the country expresses concern following the issuance of warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defence Minister Gallant, and the ongoing investigation against an Israeli reservist in Brazil.
Israel said on Tuesday that pressure groups were pushing foreign courts to take action against Israel is over alleged war crimes in Gaza , but described the actions as 'propaganda activity.' It said no warrants had been issued.
Earlier this year, warrants were issued by a court in November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then-defence minister Yoav Gallant over alleged war crimes in Gaza, as well as for Mohammed Diab Ibrahim Al-Masri, also known as Mohammed Deif, for his alleged role in planning the Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel. The warrants sparked outrage in Israel, but also drew fears that Israelis who served in the military in Gaza could be issued similar warrants. On Sunday, an Israeli reservist on holiday in Brazil left the country after a Brazilian federal judge in Salvador ordered police to open an investigation into allegations that he had committed war crimes while serving with the military in Gaza. The Hind Rajab Foundation, the pro-Palestinian group which brought the action, says on its website it 'focuses on offensive legal action against perpetrators, accomplices and inciters of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Palestine.' It said it filed a complaint based on video footage, geolocation data and photographs it said showed the reservist taking part in the demolition of civilian homes
