The Palestinian group Al-Haq says it and others have filed a criminal complaint in Switzerland against Israel’s Economy Minister Nir Barkat, who is in Davos for the World Economic Forum, for “international crimes.”
The rights group, which Jerusalem has designated a terror group, claims in an X post that Barkat, from the ruling Likud party, “is responsible for unlawful Israeli colonisation of Occupied Palestinian Territory and Israel’s actions in Gaza,” highlighting allegedly illegal statements and actions he has taken as minister and before that as Jerusalem mayor.
