Israel's military attache in Belgium referred to ICC for alleged war crimes

Israel's new military attache in Belgium has been accused of war crimes by the Hind Rajab Foundation, a Brussels-based non-profit organisation.

Colonel Moshe Tetro served as head of the Israeli military unit responsible for coordinating aid into the besieged Gaza Strip earlier this year.

The Hind Rajab Foundation's chair, Dyab Abou Jahjah, described Moshe as a "key figure in the implementation of Israeli policy towards hospitals and the strategy of famine and thirst as a weapon of war".

The foundation said it has filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Tetro, highlighting his "role in orchestrating starvation and targeting healthcare facilities".

Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and its former defence minister, Yoav Gallant, are subjects of ICC arrest warrants for alleged war crimes - including using starvation as a weapon of war.
