An anti-Israel legal group, the Hind Rajab Foundation, has demanded the immediate arrest of two Israeli citizens attending the Tomorrowland music festival in Belgium, accusing them of war crimes and genocide in Gaza, according to a report by Israel’s Channel 13 News today (Sunday). The urgent request, filed with Belgium’s federal prosecutor’s office in collaboration with the international law organization GLAN, was triggered after a group of Israelis was spotted waving the flag of the IDF’s Givati Brigade at the festival, a massive electronic music event held in Boom, Belgium.
The Hind Rajab Foundation, based in Brussels and led by two Lebanese-born activists, claims the two Israelis are responsible for “genocide” and “crimes against humanity” in Gaza, invoking Belgium’s universal jurisdiction laws, which allow prosecution of war crimes regardless of where they occurred. The group’s statement condemned the public display of the Givati Brigade flag, asserting, “For millions, it has become a symbol of impunity, destruction, and ethnic cleansing.” The foundation argued that Tomorrowland “cannot become a safe haven” for alleged war criminals, urging Belgian authorities to detain the individuals, launch a formal investigation, bring them to trial, and prevent their departure from the country.
