Pro-Palestinian event in Denmark axes speaker from group that files war crimes complaints on IDF soldiers

A Pro-Palestinian conference in Denmark cancels the participation of an anti-Israel group that works to file complaints against IDF soldiers for alleged war crimes.

In a post on X, the Hind Rajab Foundation says its representative was already in Copenhagen to attend the European Palestinian Network Conference, where he was set to join a panel discussion.

“Mr. Haroon Raza traveled to Copenhagen to represent the HRF, but moments ago, the organization informed him that the Hind Rajab Foundation’s participation was canceled due to information disseminated in the Israeli press, falsely linking us to resistance movements in Lebanon and Palestine,” the group writes.

There is no official statement from the conference organizers on the cancellation.

The organization, which proclaims in the post that its “sole mission remains the pursuit of justice and accountability for the victims and perpetrators of this ongoing genocide,” is named after six-year-old Hind Rajab, who was killed in Gaza in January.

Her death was blamed on the IDF, but an initial probe conducted by the army said that there were no troops in the area at the time.

Hebrew media reported this week that Israeli authorities are aware of at least 12 such cases in which complaints have been filed abroad against IDF soldiers accusing them of war crimes in Gaza.
