A former Israeli soldier was forced to flee Brazil after a case was brought against him alleging he was responsible for war crimes while serving in Gaza. The case was brought by the Hind Rajab Foundation, a pro-Palestinian NGO, which has tracked the activities of hundreds of Israeli soldiers serving in Gaza. The foundation presented evidence to Brazilian authorities, including social media posts and open-source intelligence, accusing the soldier of participating in the demolition of civilian homes in Gaza. Before an investigation could be launched, the Israeli government intervened to help the soldier evade Brazilian authorities. The case has sparked a political furor in Israel, with some accusing the government of failing to protect its soldiers from malicious actors abroad.
