NEWSAR · AI

Australian and Palestinian legal groups are urging the Australian Federal Police to investigate and arrest Doron Almog, a retired Israeli general, upon his arrival in Australia. Almog is expected to travel with Israeli President Isaac Herzog. The legal groups allege Almog committed war crimes in Gaza in 2002, for which he has previously faced arrest warrants, allegations he denies. The request coincides with growing opposition to President Herzog's visit, including planned protests and criticism from some Labor MPs. Almog is traveling in his capacity as chair of the Jewish Agency for Israel. The legal groups are seeking his arrest based on these historical allegations.
