Rollout of IDF alleged Gaza war crimes probe delayed again, source of delay unclear – exclusive
The source for the delay is unclear, but it appears to be based on pressure from outside the IDF legal division, and possibly outside the IDF itself.
The rollout of the IDF legal division's probes into alleged war crimes during the Israel-Hamas War has been delayed again, with the source of the delay unclear. Major-General Itay Offir, the IDF Military Advocate-General, was expected to issue multiple decisions on high-profile incidents, including the World Central Kitchen and International Red Crescent cases, in the coming weeks. However, the publication has been postponed, potentially due to external pressure. The Prime Minister's Office denied being the source of the delay, while the Foreign Ministry did not confirm or deny seeking a delay. Senior Israeli legal officials are concerned that shared data could be misused by international legal bodies. Colonel Eli Levertov, the IDF Chief Military Prosecutor, will issue the decision regarding the WCK case due to a potential conflict of interest for Offir.
