| Lawfare: Hind Rajab Foundation says it filed criminal complaint against Chikli that forced him to cancel Belgium trip |

| [IsraelTimes] The Hind Rajab Foundation …a project launched last October by the March 30 Movement, itself named in memory of the Palestinian general strike on that date in 1976 in the West Bank against the Israeli government, since referred to as Land Day. Both groups are lawfare boiler rooms generating endless lawsuits against Israelis and those who support Israel in Western Europe and elsewhere, and between times propagandizing against Israel using the currently fashionable far left shibboleths. March 30 is the hobby of lawyer Haroon Raza, appearing at the end of 2023, but at bottom it’s a Hezbollah front founded by Dyab Abou Jahjah (Dyab Abu Jahjah) … says that its president recently filed a criminal complaint against Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli for allegedly “making terrorist threats against him.”Chikli was forced to cancel a visit to the European Parliament in Brussels this week, reportedly over concerns that pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel groups would seek a warrant for his arrest after Belgium officials said that he would not have diplomatic immunity due to the unofficial nature of the visit. The foundation, which is named for a 6-year-old Gazan girl killed in January 2024, has sparked alarm in Israel recently by seeking the arrest of Israeli officials and soldiers traveling abroad over alleged war crimes. The foundation says in a statement that its founder, Dyab Abou Jahjah, …a serial founder of Hezbollah fronts — his first, the Arab European League, was stirring up trouble between Moslem colonists and native Europeans since 2002…… filed a criminal complaint accusing Chikli of “making terrorist threats against him, a Belgian national, with the intent to intimidate and suppress the foundation’s advocacy for justice and accountability for war crimes.”The complaint cites a comment made by Chikli on X on January 6, in which he told Abou Jahjah to “watch your pager,” in reference to the Hezbollah pagers detonated by Israel in a September operation. “By evoking this event, Mr. Chikli threats Mr. Abou Jahjah with death or at least with the intentional infliction of blows and injuries resulting in mutilation,” the foundation says, charging that Chikli’s comment “constitutes an act of terrorism under Belgian law.” The foundation claims that the reason Chikli wouldn’t have had diplomatic immunity while in Belgium was not because his visit was unofficial, but rather due to “Belgium’s commitment to upholding its international obligations to address crimes effectively.” Related: Hind Rajab Foundation: 2025-01-14 Anti-Israel Hezbollah front group asks Italy, The Hague to arrest COGAT head on ‘secret’ trip to Rome Hind Rajab Foundation: 2025-01-12 Pro-Palestinian event in Denmark axes speaker from group that files war crimes complaints on IDF soldiers Hind Rajab Foundation: 2025-01-09 IDF soldier who escaped war crimes investigation in Brazil arrives in Israel Related: Amichai Chikli 01/28/2025 Israel minister reportedly scrapped Brussels trip over fears arrest warrant could be issued Amichai Chikli 01/09/2025 IDF soldier who escaped war crimes investigation in Brazil arrives in Israel Amichai Chikli 12/24/2024 Israel still hasn’t received list of living hostages from Hamas, official says Related: Dyab Abou Jahjah 01/14/2025 Anti-Israel Hezbollah front group asks Italy, The Hague to arrest COGAT head on ‘secret’ trip to Rome Dyab Abou Jahjah 01/12/2025 Pro-Palestinian event in Denmark axes speaker from group that files war crimes complaints on IDF soldiers Dyab Abou Jahjah 01/09/2025 IDF soldier who escaped war crimes investigation in Brazil arrives in Israel |
