Israeli President Herzog Faces Criminal Complaints in Switzerland

Complaints lodged during Herzog's visit to Davos amidst accusations of Israeli war crimes in Gaza.

  • Israeli President Isaac Herzog is the subject of criminal complaints lodged in Switzerland during his visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos.
  • The nature of the complaints, their number, and who lodged them have not been disclosed by the Office of the Swiss Attorney General.
  • The complaints come amidst accusations of war crimes committed by Israel in Gaza, with South Africa having filed a lawsuit with the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of genocide.
  • Herzog has rejected these accusations, calling them 'atrocious and preposterous', and has presented Israel's position on the situation in Gaza at the World Economic Forum.
  • The Israeli offensive in Gaza, launched in response to attacks by Hamas, has resulted in a significant humanitarian crisis, displacing most of the enclave's 2.3 million people.
