“In July 2025, two Israeli soldiers were dancing at a music festival in Belgium. Hours later, they were in handcuffs—being questioned by federal police on war crimes charges. For the first time in 77 years, a European country arrested Israeli soldiers for crimes committed against Palestinians.”
In Episode 64 of The Enlightenment Podcast, Hanan and Shamim are joined by Dyab Abou Jahjah, the Lebanese-Belgian activist, writer, and political organiser who is co-founder of the Hind Rajab Foundation—an organisation that is fundamentally reshaping how war crimes against Palestinians are pursued under international law.
For more than three decades, Dyab has fought for Palestinian rights—from grassroots organising in Antwerp to legal advocacy at the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice. Through strategic legal filings, jurisdictional challenges, and relentless pressure on European institutions, the Hind Rajab Foundation has launched what many consider the most serious legal challenge to Israeli impunity in generations.
This conversation is about more than one arrest—it’s about the collapse of impunity, the power of legal resistance, and why accountability is no longer theoretical.
