Herzog has stated All Palestinians are responsible for the October 7 Hamas attack and signed bombs It was thrown at civilians in Gaza.

UN Commission of Inquiry to create It is stated that Herzog’s words amount to inciting genocide in Gaza.

“The statement that an entire nation was responsible for the October 7, 2023 attack could reasonably be interpreted as encouraging Israeli security forces personnel to target Palestinians in Gaza as a group as collectively culpable for the October 7, 2023 attack in Israel,” the commission said.

In light of the Commission’s findings, Sidoti stated that head of state immunity would not apply to Herzog.

“Our commission of inquiry found that Israeli President Herzog was responsible for incitement to genocide, which is one of the atrocity crimes. Therefore, in my view, Head of State immunity does not apply to Herzog while he was visiting Australia, because the Commission concludes that he was responsible for incitement to genocide,” Sidoti said.

“That means he should be arrested. He should be investigated. If there is sufficient evidence to prosecute, he should be tried. I see this as both a legal duty and a moral duty.”
