A Belgium-based human rights organization, the Hind Rajab Foundation, has filed a formal complaint with the US Justice Department, accusing the Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir of overseeing a widespread system of torture, abuse, and killings directed at Palestinians, including US citizens. The complaint alleges that Ben-Gvir’s leadership has led to the infliction of severe physical and psychological harm on Palestinian detainees.
The Hind Rajab Foundation contends that Israel’s prisons have become sites of systemic abuse under Ben-Gvir’s tenure, with detainees subjected to starvation, medical neglect, sexual violence, and other forms of maltreatment. The complaint states that at least 46 Palestinians have lost their lives as a direct result of this abuse between October 2023 and August 2025.
In addition to the allegations of physical and psychological harm, the Hind Rajab Foundation also accuses Ben-Gvir of making public statements that reflect genocidal intent towards the Palestinian population. The foundation’s complaint emphasizes the need for the US Department of Justice to launch an immediate investigation into Ben-Gvir’s actions and policies.
The complaint calls on the US authorities to prevent Ben-Gvir from leaving the country during the inquiry, as well as to uphold the United States’ obligations under the Geneva Conventions, which prohibit torture and other forms of human rights abuse.
The Hind Rajab Foundation’s complaint marks a significant escalation in the international outcry against Ben-Gvir’s actions, with many human rights groups and advocacy organizations denouncing his policies and calling for accountability.
The US Department of Justice has not made any public statements regarding the complaint, but human rights experts and advocates have hailed the filing as a necessary step in bringing Ben-Gvir to justice. “This complaint is a wake-up call for the international community to take drastic action against the Israeli government’s human rights abuses,” said a spokesperson for the Hind Rajab Foundation.
The international community remains on high alert as the situation continues to unfold. With many countries and international bodies calling for accountability and an end to the human rights abuses in Israel, the world waits with eager anticipation to see how the US Department of Justice will respond to the Hind Rajab Foundation’s complaint.
The Hind Rajab Foundation is a Belgium-based organization that works to promote human rights and social justice, particularly in the Middle East. The organization has a long history of advocating for Palestinian rights and has been a vocal critic of Israeli government policies.
