Dutch court to hear Palestinian's civil case against Israeli commanders
Ismail Ziada's case accuses Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz of responsibility for killing members of his family in Gaza during the 2014 war.
A Dutch court will hear a war crimes case Thursday brought by a Palestinian man against Israeli officials.
An appeals court at The Hague will hold a hearing on Ismail Ziada’s case against Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz and former Israeli air force head Amir Eshel. Ziada, a Gaza-born Dutch citizen, first filed the case over Israeli forces allegedly bombing his family home in the Gaza Strip in 2014. The strike killed six members of his family and a family friend, the Palestinian Authority’s WAFA news agency reported Tuesday.
