Are Israelis abroad in danger of arrest over war crime allegations?

from Kan English · host כאן | Kan

Belgian police this week questioned two Israelis who had served in Gaza during the war and were attending a music festival in Belgium.  They were questioned over allegations of serious violations of international humanitarian law but released after a few hours. The case was hailed as a “turning point in the global pursuit of accountability” by a Belgium-based group called the Hind Rajab Foundation, which has campaigned for the arrest of Israeli troops it accuses of war crimes and crimes against humanity. This wasn’t the first case when Israelis travelling abroad have been targeted. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Dr Eran Shamir-Borer, Director of the Israel Democracy Institute’s Center for Security and Democracy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
