The Israeli Reservists Generation of Victory organization said that it will provide the two IDF Givati Brigade soldiers, who were arrested in Belgium at the request of the pro-Palestinian organization Hind Rajab Foundation, with international legal aid in a Monday statement.

Two IDF soldiers were arrested and interrogated by Belgian authorities following a complaint filed by the Hind Rajab Foundation, an anti-Israel legal organization focused on pursuing legal action against IDF soldiers. They were later released after the investigation.

The soldiers, who attended the Tomorrowland music festival, were alleged to have participated in war crimes, according to HRF. The legal complaint was filed by HRF and the Global Legal Action Network (GLAN).

The evidence was collected from the soldiers' own social media feed.
"One of them posted videos of his unit blowing up property in Gaza and Lebanon," said Minogue.

The United States shielded George W. Bush from war crimes, which was a huge mistake. Democracies do not die from one action alone, but a series of corruption that we normalize.
