More than 650 Chilean lawyers filed a legal complaint with the International Criminal Court against the Israeli government and its president, Benjamin Netanyahu, regarding crimes against humanity, genocide, and war crimes against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

The complaint was submitted by a delegation representing lawyers, headed by Nelson Haddad, the former Chilean ambassador to Egypt, Iraq and Jordan, and the membership of: Senator, Chairman of the Human Rights and International Relations Committee Francisco Shahwan, and researcher-lawyer Rodolgo Marconi.

Haddad said that other lawyers from various Latin American countries are likely to join in supporting the complaint.
