Belgium closes case against Israelis detained for questioning at Tomorrowland festival

Itamar Eichner|
ynet has learned that Belgian prosecutors announced the closure of the case against an Israeli soldier and civilian who were detained for questioning on suspicion of committing war crimes in the Gaza Strip after arriving at the Tomorrowland festival held in the country. The case was transferred to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague - and according to Belgian law, the decision cannot be appealed. Israeli officials believe this effectively marks "the end of the story," as the ICC has no basis to act against soldiers and typically targets senior officials. The complaint against the soldiers was filed by the pro-Palestinian Hind Rajab Foundation, which "hunts" Israelis abroad.
