Ten British-Israeli soldiers accused of war crimes in Gaza

A war crimes complaint against 10 British nationals accused of committing war crimes for the Israeli military in Gaza will be handed to the Metropolitan Police on Monday.

A team of legal experts, including prominent human rights lawyer Michael Mansfield, will submit a 240-page report with the Met’s war crimes team on behalf of the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) and the Public Interest Law Centre (PILC). 

The full report and identities of the accused have not been made public for legal reasons but the 10 people accused include Israeli dual nationals.

They are accused of crimes including murder, extermination, attacking civilians and the deportation or forcible transfer of a population.

“In the last 18 months we have witnessed international crimes unfold. Our leaders have done little if anything to prevent the suffering of millions of innocent Palestinians,” Mansfield said.
