Zionist Regime Attempts to Demolish Legal Institute ‘Hind Rajab
According to webangah news Agency, Diab Abu Jahjah, head of the Brussels-based Hind Rajab Legal Institute, accused israel of using international political and media pressure to disrupt the organization’s work.The institute focuses on prosecuting Israeli military officials and leaders accused of war crimes and genocide against Palestinians.
Abu Jahjah stated that these efforts include sanctions, threats, and behind-the-scenes pressure on countries and international bodies.The Zionist regime recently published a list of sanctions targeting 50 individuals, including the institute’s director and three affiliated lawyers.
He emphasized that such pressure would not halt the institute’s legal efforts. Abu Jahjah described Israel’s primary goal as obstructing the growing number of lawsuits against its military personnel-cases that have reportedly deterred some officials from traveling to certain countries over fears of prosecution.
The Hind Rajab Institute head also warned that Israel aims to discredit the organization globally through lobbying and propaganda, potentially adding it to sanctioned lists-including in the U.S. He noted that the institute has already compiled detailed evidence of genocide in Gaza and plans to leverage worldwide jurisdiction in European courts to prosecute dual-national Israelis.
“Most cases remain preliminary,” he said, “but with sufficient evidence accumulation, real verdicts could be issued outside Zionist lobby influence.” He cited Belgium as an example where Israeli pressure failed after an official examination dismissed its claims as baseless.
Abu Jahjah concluded that Israel’s attempts to undermine trust in the institute reflect its growing impact. He called for broader public support from pro-Palestinian groups worldwide.
The Hind Rajab Institute was founded in 2024 in Brussels-named after a Palestinian child martyred with her family by Israeli forces-and specializes in pursuing legal action against Israeli war crimes.
