Hind Rajab Foundation files criminal complaint against FM Sa'ar ahead of visit to Slovenia
At this stage, there is no indication that Slovenian authorities have opened proceedings in response to the complaint. The Foreign Ministry has not yet issued a response.
The pro-Palestinian Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) announced on Monday that it has filed a criminal complaint against Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar with Slovenian authorities. The complaint, lodged ahead of Sa'ar's visit to Ljubljana on September 9-10 for the opening of a new Israeli embassy, accuses him of responsibility for war crimes, genocide, and torture in Gaza. There is no indication that Slovenian authorities have opened proceedings. The HRF has previously filed similar complaints against Sa'ar in Brussels and London. Natacha Bracq, Head of Litigation at HRF, stated, "Universal jurisdiction exists precisely so that perpetrators cannot hide behind borders or diplomatic visits." Sa'ar announced the new embassy in June, citing a "new chapter in relations" with Slovenia under Prime Minister Janez Janša.
