War Crimes Complaint Filed Against Israeli Minister Saar Ahead of Slovenia Visit
The Hind Rajab Foundation, a Brussels-based organization, announced on Monday that it has filed a criminal complaint with Slovenian authorities against Israeli Foreign Affairs Minister Gideon Saar. The foundation accuses Saar of responsibility for alleged war crimes, genocide, and torture in the Gaza Strip. No judicial decision has been made regarding these accusations at this time.
Saar is scheduled to visit Ljubljana on Wednesday to inaugurate a new Israeli embassy, according to the foundation. The organization stated it was informed of the visit by the Movement for the Rights of Palestinians, a Slovenian activist group. The complaint reportedly stems from an investigation into Saar's role as a member of Israel's security cabinet, focusing on his involvement in formulating and defending policies concerning Gaza.
The Hind Rajab Foundation claims these policies have contributed to attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure. This legal action comes amid improving relations between Israel and Slovenia, particularly since the election of a new center-right government in Ljubljana. In June, Slovenia lifted an arms embargo against Israel that had been in place since 2025.
