Human rights lawyers file criminal complaint seeking Netanyahu's arrest in Argentina
Argentina-based human rights lawyers have filed a criminal complaint in the country's federal courts calling for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits the nation, amid reports of a possible trip in September.
The complaint calls for an investigation into Israeli political and military authorities regarding an incident on March 23 in which 15 people were executed, including several first responders assisting bombing victims.
According to Reuters, the lawyers argue that Netanyahu is criminally responsible as a co-perpetrator of the war crime of intentionally causing death by starvation, among other charges.
The visit, if confirmed, would be significant as tensions rise globally over Israel's military actions in regions such as Gaza.
