NEW | Legal Action Filed Against Netanyahu Over Attack on Spanish UNIFIL Soldier
Iustitia Europa announced it is filing criminal charges against Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli military leadership, accusing them of war crimes following the alleged assault on a Spanish UNIFIL peacekeeper in Lebanon.
The group stated that the soldier, deployed on a peacekeeping mission, was illegally detained, assaulted, and coerced by Israeli occupation forces, calling it a serious violation of international law, UN Resolution 1701, and the Geneva Conventions.
They stressed that targeting a UN peacekeeper undermines international legitimacy, urging accountability and warning that silence would amount to accepting impunity.
