A lawsuit in Argentina demands the arrest of Netanyahu for committing war crimes in Gaza.

Two human rights lawyers in Argentina filed a lawsuit on Friday against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the federal courts of the country, seeking his arrest, coinciding with media reports about a possible visit by Netanyahu to Buenos Aires next September.

According to reports, the lawyers requested an arrest warrant for Netanyahu in the event of his visit to the country, following the incident of the "martyrdom of paramedics" in Rafah last March.

The complaint, filed by lawyers Rodolfo Yanzón and Raji Sourani, director of the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, stated that Netanyahu bears criminal responsibility as a partner in war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Media reports indicated that Netanyahu is expected to visit Argentina next month, but the government has not confirmed this visit.

The complaint submitted to the court stated: "It is understood that Netanyahu is criminally responsible as a partner in committing the war crime of causing death by starvation, and for crimes against humanity such as murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts."

According to the United Nations, 15 paramedics and relief workers were killed in that incident - including at least one UN employee - in an attack by the Israeli occupation army on the Al-Sultan neighborhood in Rafah.

The British newspaper The Guardian reported at the time that rescue team vehicles, which were marked, came under fire during the rescue operation, a day after the Israeli occupation army renewed its attack on the Rafah area.

The Argentine newspaper Clarín also noted that Netanyahu might forgo the visit to Buenos Aires and instead request a meeting with Argentine President Javier Milei in New York during the United Nations General Assembly at the end of September.

Earlier, the State Workers' Association and the (HIJOS) human rights group submitted an arrest warrant against Netanyahu to the Argentine federal courts in early August.

Netanyahu is facing increasing global pressure due to the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, which has led to the martyrdom of thousands of Palestinians, in addition to hundreds dying of starvation due to the occupation's blockade preventing food and medical aid from entering the besieged territory.

The occupying state faces accusations of genocide before the International Court of Justice, while the International Criminal Court issued a separate arrest warrant against Netanyahu over allegations of committing war crimes in Gaza.
