Meanwhile, the International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant for crimes against humanity and war crimes.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"n-content-image n-content-image--full\" data-component=\"image-set\"><picture><source media=\"(min-width: 700px)\"  width=\"5500\" height=\"3667\"><\/source><\/picture><figcaption class=\"n-content-picture__caption\"><span>The remains of a car in which a Palestinian child, Hind Rajab, 6, was found, in Gaza last February<\/span><span> <!-- -->\u00a9 Reuters<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Israel has vehemently rejected allegations of genocide and called South Africa\u2019s case \u201cprofoundly distorted\u201d. Israel says its forces in Gaza operate in accordance with international law and Netanyahu\u2019s office has dismissed the arrest warrants as \u201cantisemitic\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Abou Jahjah said HRF had submitted to the ICC evidence against some 1,000 Israeli soldiers to help bolster its case against the Israeli leaders.<\/p>\n<p>The group has also compiled a list of soldiers it suspects of having been involved in war crimes and it has been monitoring their movements through their social media posts, he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe knew he was in Brazil the moment he entered and we filed a 400-page dossier against him just three days later,\u201d said Abou Jahjah. \u201cWe don\u2019t target all Israeli soldiers, just the ones suspected of committing war crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that they had been compiling evidence about alleged breaches of international law that \u201cstart with entering homes and looting and destroying property and go to demolishing entire neighbourhoods, including hospitals, civilian infrastructure and houses of worship\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is also killing people, kidnapping people, torturing people, and posing with prisoners,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>HRF has also filed war crimes complaints against dozens of Israeli soldiers who are dual nationals of countries including Belgium, France and Holland with the aim of triggering prosecutions there. <\/p>\n<p>Some of these cases are still at an early investigation stage, Abou Jahjah said, while others have been rejected by national judiciaries and are being appealed by HRF. \u201cWe are optimistic about the cases in Belgium,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/b2eaef83-86ff-49ea-b852-db1626357c01\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlock the Editor\u2019s Digest for free Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.
