Hostage Updates
- There is no sense in making a partial deal. It is a crime to leave hostages behind in Gaza and not end the war. The Israeli government must declare now that Israel is ready to end the war and withdraw from Gaza and demand that the mediators bring an agreement from Hamas to return all the hostages immediately.

- Family authorizes publication of images from Hamas video of hostage Liri Albag
The Albag family authorizes the publication of two still images taken from the video of hostage Liri Albag put out by Hamas.
The family had earlier asked not to use the video or any images.
“The video published today tore our hearts to pieces,” the family says in a statement. “This is not the same daughter and sister we know.”
“She is not in a good condition. Her difficult mental state is obvious,” the statement says.
“We saw heroic Liri surviving and begging for her life. She is only a few dozen kilometers from us and for 456 days we have not been able to bring her home,” says the family.
Appealing to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government, the family says, “It is time for you to decide as if your children were there.”
“Liri is alive and must come back alive. This depends only on you,” the family says. “You must not miss this current opportunity to bring them back. All of them.”

- Liri Albag’s mother: We’re fighting for you, you’re coming home alive
In a video statement, the parents of Liri Albag comment on the clip of her released by Hamas.
“We demanded of the prime minister that the negotiating team not return [from Qatar] until there is a deal,” says her mother Shira, after the two spoke with Netanyahu earlier.
“I want to tell Liri if she watches this: Liri we’re fighting for you, we’re not giving up on you. You’re coming home alive… Mom and Dad are promising you and we keep our promises. It will happen soon, with God’s help… Believe in it. We’re not giving up, don’t you give up. Keep fighting and surviving.” video in hebrew
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks with the parents of hostage Liri Albag following Hamas’s release of a propaganda video featuring the captive IDF servicewoman.
“The prime minister told the family that he sympathizes with the suffering that Liri, her family, and all the hostages and their families are going through,” the Prime Minister’s Office says in a statement. “The prime minister assured them that Israel is continuing to work tirelessly to return Liri and all the hostages home, and that efforts are ongoing — including at this very moment.”
A mid-level Israeli hostage negotiating team held talks on Friday with Qatari mediators, who were also hosting Hamas representatives in Doha for parallel discussions, in efforts to overcome sustained differences between the warring parties. A senior Israeli official told Axios that Israel and Hamas remain at an impasse over almost all topics being negotiated. --Netanyahu claims "he sympathizes with the suffering that Liri, her family, and all the hostages and their families are going through". What a bunch of BS. Unfortunately, this person who brought us October 7 and doesn't take any responsibility doesn't have an ounce of sympathy, empathy or soul left in his body. They seeped out, if he ever had them, a very long time ago. He sees all of these videos and more. Has he visited a single family who's child, partner, grandparent was massacred on October 7, a single family who's loved one was killed in captivity, gone to a single funeral, cried a tear? He can look into the faces of the suffering hostage families and lie to their faces without blinking. This is a person who only cares for his own personal and political self interests. This is what he has sympathy for, not for anyone else and he has proven this a million times in the last 15 months .

- The Mossad Chief Set to Fly to Qatar: "Critical Round of Negotiations" | Israel Examines New Proposal
Talks are accelerating following proof of life from Liri Elbag, with a Palestinian source claiming, "Mediators have succeeded in bridging gaps." Amid Hamas’s claim that it "needs a ceasefire to finalize the list of hostages," Israel is considering demanding a symbolic release as a "gesture of good faith" before agreeing to a pause in hostilities. Minister Miki Zohar addressed fellow coalition members Ben-Gvir and Smotrich, stating, "My Likud colleagues and I in the government will support a deal, and all ministers should do the same."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu scheduled a security discussion for this afternoon (Sunday). Mossad Chief Dedi Barnea is expected to travel to Doha tomorrow. A Palestinian source described today as "decisive for the fate of the negotiations." Talks aimed at reaching a hostage deal have gained momentum, just a day after the release of a video showing IDF observer Liri Elbag, one of 99 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza for 457 days.
"Bridging Gaps Between the Parties"
A Palestinian source familiar with the negotiations told Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed: "Today is crucial for the fate of the negotiations between Hamas and Israel. Mediators have succeeded in bridging gaps between the sides through compromise solutions and are awaiting the Israeli government’s response tonight."
The Prime Minister convened a 5:00 PM meeting of the inner cabinet, including ministers Israel Katz, Itamar Ben-Gvir, Gideon Sa’ar, Ron Dermer, and Shas party leader Aryeh Deri. While Netanyahu's office claims the meeting is not focused on hostages, sources told Ynet that Mossad Chief Barnea will head to Doha, alongside U.S. envoys. Brett McGurk, President Biden's Middle East envoy, has joined the talks, underscoring Washington's commitment to closing a deal, particularly ahead of Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20—just over two weeks away.
Key Issues in the Negotiations
A major unresolved question is how many living hostages will be released. Israel aims for the release of at least 24 hostages in the initial stage, including wounded male hostages under 50 as part of a humanitarian deal. Hamas has opposed this, arguing it was not part of prior agreements and demanding either the release of more high-profile prisoners or a larger number of detainees in exchange for the young men.
Israel has also demanded a full list of all living hostages, while Hamas insists it needs "at least a week" of ceasefire to compile the list. In response, Israel is considering a phased approach: Hamas would first release a few hostages as a "gesture of good faith," after which Israel would grant a temporary ceasefire to allow Hamas to deliver the complete list.
Potential Deal Framework
The Saudi newspaper Al-Hadath reported on progress towards a potential deal. According to sources, the agreement would unfold over two to three months and involve phased implementation. Arab and Western states would manage Gaza alongside Palestinian groups. The deal reportedly guarantees immunity for Hamas leaders, including safe passage out of Gaza, transferring governance to an independent Palestinian body. The deployment of international forces, possibly from Scandinavia, is also being discussed, with the U.S. acting as the guarantor of the agreement.
Emotional Fallout and International Skepticism
Liri Elbag’s proof of life video deeply affected her family and the public. Her sister, Shay, wrote on Instagram:
"The body is collapsing, there’s no air to breathe, the heart is shattered beyond what I thought possible. One moment, we’re thinking about you. The next, we see you on the screen—a picture that shatters us into a million pieces. On one hand, we received proof of life. On the other, I saw everything I tried to suppress. Seeing you like this is like a knife stabbing the heart over and over."
Shay vowed: "You will come home alive. I’ll make sure you never hurt again."
After the video’s release, Elbag’s parents spoke with Netanyahu, demanding that "the negotiation team not return without an agreement." Nissan Calderon, brother of hostage Ofer Calderon, called the video "heartbreaking" and stressed, "Before anything else, we need to bring the hostages home. Only then can we continue fighting."
U.S. Skepticism Amid Political Transition
American officials involved in the negotiations have expressed doubt about a deal being finalized by January 20. Despite Hamas’s recent proof of life videos, they cited significant gaps and logistical challenges. The Americans noted that Trump recently issued a stark warning to Hamas, saying, "If the hostages aren’t released before January 20, 2025, there will be consequences from hell in the Middle East."
The reported skepticism is unusual for U.S. mediators, who typically project optimism. Israeli officials acknowledged the challenges but maintained hope, stating, "There’s progress, but it will take time. The outcome is still uncertain." link. I remind that all of this is speculation and spin. There is no official information, just assumptions made from small bits of information that certain 'officials' and non officials are saying. Unfortunately, after being hopeful and guardedly optimistic for a minute, my feet touched ground again and reminded myself that the bottom line of all the negotiations before and now remains an end to the war, not a temporary ceasefire. Hamas seems ready to agree to a temporary ceasefire in the first stage as long as there are international guarantees that the second stage will be reached within an agreed upon time schedule and that second stage entails an end to the war and the return of the rest of the hostages. Netanyahu is still not ready to call for an end of the war because of the implications to him personally and his political career. Those considerations always come first to Netanyahu. Even if we have real movement towards this deal, it is a bad deal (better than none, of course) but it is a bad deal. Only a small amount of living hostages will be released, they are not talking about 20-22 living hostages, and the rest will be condemned to continue to living and dying in the hell of their captivity. We have no idea how many of them are still alive, nor do we know how many are just hanging on to their last moments of survival. What we do know is there is no time left and they all must be brought home in a single deal that also ends the war and brings home our soldiers.

Father of former hostage: ‘We don’t need to wait for a miracle, we need action’
in Jerusalem demanding a hostage deal memorialize Staff Sgt. Yuval Shoham, who was killed in the Gaza Strip last Sunday.
The fallen soldier was the son of a prominent anti-government activist in Jerusalem, Efi Shoham.
From onstage outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home, organizers screen a clip of Shoham eulogizing his son last week, calling on the government to reach a deal with Hamas to free the remaining hostages.
“On the fresh grave of my beloved son, our beloved son… I demand of you, demand in his name and in the name of so many others, to make a deal,” Shoham said at the funeral.
Yoav Engel, father of former hostage Ofir Engel who was released during the November 2023 truce, also speaks to the crowd.
“Just a short while ago it was Hanukkah, the holiday of miracles, but sadly, no miracle has happened. My friends, we don’t need to wait for a miracle, we need a decision and action,” says Engel.

Captivity survivor Almog Meir Jan told a crowd of hundreds earlier at Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square rally that for “246 days every basic human right was taken from me.”
“For eight months I was in Gaza, in captivity, bound and broken, physically and mentally,” he said. “Eight months in which I struggled to retain my spirit and hope, which wasn’t quenched even in the hardest moments.”
Meir Jan said he will “never forget the hand that saved my life” in June when Israeli security forces rescued him and three other hostages from Gaza.
“The hand stretched out to hostages and their families is a deal that must be signed,” he said. “A deal to save their lives, a deal to save all our lives.”
Addressing the hostages, Meir Jan said he was “sorry because I know you are the ones putting in ‘the work.'”
“I really ask and wonder, what is our leadership doing?” he continued. “Are you, the leaders of our country, putting in ‘the work’ that you as elected officials are required to?”
“A deal to release them is on the table, and we don’t have the privilege to tarry,” he said.
Speakers at Tel Aviv rally call on Trump: ‘End this fucking war now’
Speakers at the weekly anti-government, pro-hostage deal protest in Tel Aviv call on US President-elect Donald Trump to end the war in Gaza and secure a deal to bring the hostages home.
From a pedestrian bridge over Begin Road, the speakers address around 1,500 people at the protest in front of IDF headquarters.
Many protesters came from an earlier protest on the adjacent Begin-Kaplan junction.
Shahar Mor, the nephew of slain hostage Avraham Munder, pleads in English for Trump to “stop arming the revenge campaign in Gaza.”
“We need our hostages back. We’ll perish without them,” he says. “The former administration failed miserably. You can do better.”
Omri Lifshitz, son of captivity survivor Yocheved Lofshitz and hostage Oded Lofshitz, also addresses Trump in English, asking that he “End this fucking war now.”
Below the speakers’ bridge, an anti-government group hands out red hats adorned with that slogan in big white English letters — not unlike Trump’s “Make America Great Again” hats.
After the speeches, protesters hoist burning torches and light a fire. They chant that “we are all hostages of the government of blood.” Police burst into the crowd to put the fire out, shoving protesters in the process. When the officers leave, protesters re-light the fire. video
At the earlier protest on the Begin-Kaplan intersection, Maj. Gen. (res.) Noam Tibbon said the government has less courage than “a young female soldier named Liri,” referring to hostage Liri Albag. Hamas issued video of the captive soldier earlier today.
Tibbon quoted a speech he gave last year at the same place, warning the government’s judicial overhaul was leading to disaster.
“But I, too, didn’t know how horrible the disaster would be,” he said.
He assailed impending legislation to exempt thousands of ultra-Orthodox men from military service.
“It’s not just sharing the burden, not just equality of blood,” he said of the demand to draft Haredi men. “It’s a real operational necessity.”
Jerusalem protesters with little clothing: ‘They are freezing to death in Gaza’

Most marchers continue toward Paris Square, near Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s residence. No arrests are made.
Hundreds of demonstrators demanding a hostage deal are marching to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home in Jerusalem.
The protest comes at the heels of Hamas releasing a video with signs of life from 19-year-old hostage Liri Albag.
Marchers carry a banner that reads, “They are all humanitarian,” referring to the hostages. Negotiations for a release deal have focused on an initial stage that would see “humanitarian” cases freed first.

Gaza and the South
IDF says it carried out strike on Hamas operatives using aid routes in Gaza for terror activities
Overnight, the IDF says it carried out an airstrike against a group of armed Hamas operatives on the Salah a-Din road in the southern Gaza Strip.
The military says the operatives were involved in “terror activity,” during which they “exploited routes used for delivering humanitarian aid.”
“The strike was carried out at a distance from the movement of humanitarian aid trucks and did not affect the continued entrance of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip,” the IDF says.
The IDF says that a separate airstrike earlier today against a vehicle in the Deir al-Balah area of central Gaza hit four armed Hamas operatives.
- IDF destroys underground Hamas weapons factory in central Gaza
An underground Hamas weapons manufacturing plant in the central Gaza Strip was recently demolished by troops, the military says.
Members of the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit, operating under the 99th Division in central Gaza, located and demolished the tunnel, following “precise intelligence” on the site, the IDF says.
The IDF says that inside the tunnel, troops found several lathes and machines for processing and cutting materials used for the manufacture of weapons.
The military also recovered documents, computers, and portable hard drives from the tunnel.
After the tunnel was mapped out and the findings were seized, combat engineers destroyed it.
The IDF says that the demolition of the tunnel is “another blow to the attempts of the Hamas terror organization to recover.”
- IDF says it hit over 100 targets in Gaza over weekend, killing dozens of Hamas operatives
Over 100 targets were struck in the Gaza Strip over the weekend, killing dozens of Hamas operatives, the IDF says.
The strikes were carried by the Israeli Air Force in a joint effort with the Southern Command, following intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Directorate and the Shin Bet security agency.
Additionally, the IDF says it struck several rockets launching sites in Gaza over the weekend.

- Police say wanted Palestinian killed during arrest raid near Jenin
Border Police says officers killed a wanted Palestinian gunman during an operation in the West Bank town of Meithalun, close to Jenin.
In a joint operation with the IDF and Shin Bet security agency, police say undercover Border Police officers tried to detain Hassan Rabia’a, who was wanted for involvement in terror activity.
During attempts to arrest Rabia’a in Meithalun, he opened fire on troops while trying to flee. The Border Police officers returned fire, killing him.
Two handguns were found on his body, police say. At Rabia’a’s home, the military says troops seized a hunting rifle, pipe bombs, gun parts, and NIS 96,000 in cash.
Also at Rabia’a’s property, the IDF says troops found an explosives manufacturing lab, which was then demolished.
In a separate operation overnight, the IDF says it seized 20 handguns in a vehicle stopped by troops near Nablus. Nineteen wanted Palestinians were also detained by troops overnight, the military says.
No soldiers were wounded in the operations.

Politics and the War (general news)
- Hostages’ families accuse Health Ministry report of violating captives’ privacy
In a letter to the ministry, families’ Forum says document detailing the plight of hostages in Hamas captivity breached doctor-patient privilege
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum has criticized the Health Ministry’s decision to publish a recent report on the hardships hostages had faced while in Hamas captivity, saying it violated freed captives’ right to privacy.
In a letter to the ministry, the Forum wrote that the hostages were not “public property” and that released hostages may not have agreed to have the information publicized.
While the report, which is based on testimonies from released hostages, does not identify any of them by name, the Forum said it was possible to identify some of the victims based on the descriptions in the report.
Dana Pugach, an attorney representing the families who wrote the letter, told the Haaretz newspaper that some of the released hostages did not know about the report or that their testimonies would be used in it.
The letter stressed the violation of privacy of minors mentioned in the report, saying it was unclear whether their guardians had consented to having the information published.
Pugach said previous letters to the ministry regarding the violation of released hostages’ privacy were ignored.
She told Haaretz that the violation of privacy began immediately upon their return. “Doctors were interviewed and gave indications that made it easy to identify which hostages they were talking about. We wrote to the Health Ministry and expected something would be done, but here comes this report showing there is a systematic violation of privacy and doctor-patient privilege.”
Pugach also said the report repeats information that was already provided discretely by families to Alice Edwards, the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture. “You don’t need to go publish things for them to reach the UN rapporteur,” she said.
Pugach wrote that the report’s publication constitutes a crime under the Israeli criminal code, as it reveals identifying details of crime victims.
In response to the letter, the Health Ministry said the report’s purpose was to raise international awareness of the hostages’ plight and the urgent need to release them from captivity. The ministry also apologized for any harm caused to the hostages and their families, saying the issues addressed in the letter had been sent to senior ministry officials “so lessons will be learned.”
The Knesset will hold a session next week on the privacy of released hostages.
The report was compiled from the testimonies of hostages who were released in a November 2023 deal and those who were rescued by Israeli forces. It details how individuals were burned and beaten, starved and humiliated, as well as how the abuse impacted their mental and physical health, even long after they were freed.
The report said hostages were kept for days in darkness, with their hands and feet bound, and received little food or water. They were beaten all over their bodies. Some had hair pulled out and, in some cases, were burned and branded with metal heated over an open flame. Others, including children, were subjected to sexual assaults.
Injured hostages said they were not given painkillers and described agonizing pain during medical treatments that, in some cases, included surgical procedures.
Hostages said there was a lack of showers and that they were forced to wait hours or even days before being permitted to use a toilet. Some were forced to soil themselves.
Some female hostages were forced to work as “maids,” Channel 12 reported.
Released hostages related to authorities that they were deliberately separated from other family members who were being held. Captives, including children, were forced to watch videos of the October 7 atrocities.
According to the report, some hostages experienced a dramatic loss in weight due to starvation and lack of nourishment. Adult hostages lost 8 to 15 kilograms (18 to 33 pounds), while among child captives, there was an average loss of 10 percent in body weight, though in some cases, it was as high as 18%.
“Due to the terrible hygiene and unclean water, hostages suffered stomachaches and diarrhea during their time in captivity. All of this has serious mental consequences, especially in the case of children.”
There were 251 hostages abducted from Israel on October 7, 2023, during the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel that killed 1,200 people.
Ninety-six of them remain in Gaza, including the bodies of at least 34 confirmed dead by the IDF. Hamas released 105 civilians during a weeklong truce in late November, and four hostages were released before that. Eight hostages have been rescued by troops alive, and the bodies of 38 hostages have also been recovered, including three mistakenly killed by the Israeli military as they tried to escape their captors. link
In a letter to the ministry, families’ Forum says document detailing the plight of hostages in Hamas captivity breached doctor-patient privilege
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum has criticized the Health Ministry’s decision to publish a recent report on the hardships hostages had faced while in Hamas captivity, saying it violated freed captives’ right to privacy.
In a letter to the ministry, the Forum wrote that the hostages were not “public property” and that released hostages may not have agreed to have the information publicized.
While the report, which is based on testimonies from released hostages, does not identify any of them by name, the Forum said it was possible to identify some of the victims based on the descriptions in the report.
Dana Pugach, an attorney representing the families who wrote the letter, told the Haaretz newspaper that some of the released hostages did not know about the report or that their testimonies would be used in it.
The letter stressed the violation of privacy of minors mentioned in the report, saying it was unclear whether their guardians had consented to having the information published.
Pugach said previous letters to the ministry regarding the violation of released hostages’ privacy were ignored.
She told Haaretz that the violation of privacy began immediately upon their return. “Doctors were interviewed and gave indications that made it easy to identify which hostages they were talking about. We wrote to the Health Ministry and expected something would be done, but here comes this report showing there is a systematic violation of privacy and doctor-patient privilege.”
Pugach also said the report repeats information that was already provided discretely by families to Alice Edwards, the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture. “You don’t need to go publish things for them to reach the UN rapporteur,” she said.
Pugach wrote that the report’s publication constitutes a crime under the Israeli criminal code, as it reveals identifying details of crime victims.
In response to the letter, the Health Ministry said the report’s purpose was to raise international awareness of the hostages’ plight and the urgent need to release them from captivity. The ministry also apologized for any harm caused to the hostages and their families, saying the issues addressed in the letter had been sent to senior ministry officials “so lessons will be learned.”
The Knesset will hold a session next week on the privacy of released hostages.
The report was compiled from the testimonies of hostages who were released in a November 2023 deal and those who were rescued by Israeli forces. It details how individuals were burned and beaten, starved and humiliated, as well as how the abuse impacted their mental and physical health, even long after they were freed.

The Warning Document That Was Overlooked and the New One That Was Prepared – Omitting "Jericho Plan"
The head of the IDF Raid Division in the Gaza Division identified similarities between the Nukhba training and the grand raid plan, urging the need to "challenge the concept." However, the division intelligence officer dismissed the warnings as "exaggerated" and instructed the preparation of a new document. One month before the attack, a document was presented to the Chief of Staff, with no mention of the term "Jericho Wall."
Major N., who led the Raid Division, was the person who coined the term "Jericho Wall" and created the well-known presentation that analyzed Hamas’s raid plan in May 2022. In August 2023, following sharp warning reports from two female analysts in Unit 8200 who monitored the organization's training, he concluded that the feasibility of war had shifted and updated his presentation.
In his analysis, Major N. compared the training of the Nukhba companies from the Gaza City Brigade to the "Jericho Wall" plan. The findings were alarming: while the IDF was preparing for up to four simultaneous infiltrations, the training indicated preparations for a much broader-scale raid. These conclusions were included in the intelligence document, as revealed last night (Saturday) on Channel 12 News.
"Challenging Core Assumptions and Calling to Question the Concept," Major N. wrote about two months before October 7. "The comparison allowed for questioning several key assumptions and significant perceptions." He also suggested methods for early detection of operational moves, including listening to the tactical communications of Hamas’s Nukhba companies—a capability Unit 8200 had abandoned about a year before the attack.

"An Exaggerated and Unrealistic Scenario"
Major N. drafted the intelligence document during his final week in office. He departed, and Lieutenant Colonel A., the intelligence officer for the Gaza Division, held a discussion on the document in September but dismissed it, stating, "The scenario is exaggerated and unrealistic." He directed Major N.’s replacement to draft another document, also tracking Hamas’s training but omitting any mention of the term "Jericho Plan."
In September, the Chief of Staff visited the Gaza Division. Intelligence Officer A. did not want to present Major N.’s document to him and instructed his replacement to prepare a few slides on Hamas’s training—without mentioning the "Jericho Wall" plan. On October 7, the Chief of Staff was exposed for the first time to the existence of Hamas’s raid plan. link. There are a million reasons that an Official State Commission of Inquiry is a necessity to understand what led up to October 7, who was responsible and what steps need to be made to prevent it from ever happening again. This is just another of the million reasons.

- Brazil orders police to investigate Israeli soldier on vacation for 'war crimes'
The HRF accused the Israeli soldier of "participating in massive demolitions of civilian homes in Gaza during a systematic campaign of destruction."
The Brazilian Federal Court ordered its police to investigate an Israeli soldier vacationing in Brazil on account of "war crimes" he allegedly committed in the Gaza Strip, the Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) announced on Friday.
According to a report by the Brazilian newspaper Metrรณpoles on Saturday, the decision was issued by Federal Judge Raquel Soares Charelli during a special session last week on Monday.
The soldier has since gotten on a flight and left Brazil, Israeli media reported on Sunday.
The complaint against the Israeli soldier was initially filed by the HRF, an international organization that, on its website mission statement, says is devoted "to breaking the cycle of Israeli impunity."
The HRF accused the Israeli soldier of "participating in massive demolitions of civilian homes in Gaza during a systematic campaign of destruction."
"These acts are part of a broader effort to impose unbearable living conditions on Palestinian civilians, constituting genocide and crimes against humanity under international law," the accusation on the official HRF website added.
Evidence against the Israeli soldier
The HRF statement also referred to the evidence that it allegedly has against the Israeli soldier.
It said the evidence against him included "video footage, geolocation data, and photographs showing the suspect personally planting explosives and participating in the destruction of entire neighborhoods. These materials prove beyond doubt the suspect’s direct involvement in these heinous acts."
HRF’s lead lawyer, Maira Pinheiro, also addressed the legal aspect of the case in the HRF statement.
“This is not a case of distant command. This individual actively contributed to the destruction of homes and livelihoods, and his own statements and behavior clearly align with the genocidal objectives in Gaza," Pinheiro said.
Speaking to Metrรณpoles newspaper, Pinheiro also said the complaint was based on the Rome Statute, to which Brazil is a signatory.
"Since Brazil is a signatory to the Rome Statute, universal jurisdiction applies within Brazilian territory," she explained in the report.
"This means that any member country must act to ensure that crimes outlined in the Statute (war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide) are investigated and punished," she added.
"According to the principle of extraterritoriality, provided in Article 7 of the Brazilian Penal Code, Brazil has jurisdiction to investigate crimes committed abroad when they derive from international treaties, and the perpetrator enters Brazilian territory," Pinheiro explained.
The Metrรณpoles report also said that there were "more than 500 pages of court documents related to the case," which it accessed.
According to Israel's public broadcaster KAN, the soldier's family noted that the soldier was not being detained and that he was receiving help from relevant actors. link. Netanyahu is the gift that keeps on giving. Why Netanyahu? This all stems from the arrests warrants for Netanyahu and Galant by the ICC in the Hague that could have been avoided had an Independent Official State Commission of Inquiry been set up to investigate the war and everything that led up to October 7. Netanyahu has continued to refuse to set this up because he knows that he will be found responsible and culpable on so many levels. The State Commission would have likely made the consideration of the arrest warrants disappear as the ICC generally defers to the democratic country with an independent judicial system if they open a full investigation to the potential charges that the ICC was charging. Had this been done, there is a possibility, not a guarantee that other world crime investigatory organizations may have gone the same route. But Netanyahu wouldn't hear of it, again out of his own self interest and the interests of the rest of the country be damned.

Lapid slams government amid report soldier forced to flee war crimes probe in Brazil
Opposition Leader Yair Lapid slams the government after an IDF reservist is reported to have narrowly escaped arrest for alleged war crimes while traveling in South America.
“The fact that an Israeli reservist was forced to flee Brazil in the dead of night to avoid being arrested for fighting in Gaza is a huge political failure by an irresponsible government that simply doesn’t know how to work,” Lapid declares in a statement arguing that a state commission of inquiry into October 7 would have provided Israelis with legal protection.
“It cannot be that IDF soldiers — both regular service and reservists — are afraid to go on a trip abroad for fear of being arrested,” Lapid says.
Following a complaint by the Belgium-based anti-Israel Hind Rajab Foundation, a Brazilian federal court ordered police to investigate if an IDF soldier who was traveling in the country was responsible for “war crimes” in Gaza. The Ynet news site later reported that the soldier had managed to leave Brazil.

Dark Legacy - The Abandonment of October 7th Hostages
Netanyahu -the Nuclear RenegadeDr. Or RabinowitzDepartment of International Relations, The Hebrew Universityof Jerusalem, Visiting Professor at Stanford University 2024-2025.
Historians tend to single out the "fathers and mothers" of various nuclear programs. Anyone who saw the blockbuster film "Oppenheimer" will know that the Jewish scientist at the heart of the film was crowned the father of the American nuclear program, itself the offspring of the Manhattan Project. There are other proud parents, too - for instance, the scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan, the father of Pakistan's nuclear program. Meanwhile, here in Israel, the journalist Ben Caspit has recently crowned Netanyahu the father of the Iranian nuclear bomb. Since October 7th this title has become increasingly justified. In June 2024 it is clear that Iran's efforts to build a comprehensive nuclear infrastructure can no longer be thwarted and that it is currently a mere step away from the production of a nuclear bomb. In fact, under the auspices of the Gaza war, Iran managed to dramatically expand its nuclear infrastructure. In other words, this ship (or nuclear submarine) has already sailed. The Iranian nuclear bomb can now be safely added to Netanyahu's list of omissions and failures.As you may recall, Netanyahu vehemently opposed the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran and waged an international campaign against it and against the Obama administration, a campaign that damaged Israel's relations with the Democratic Party. At the peak of his campaign, in March 2015, Netanyahu gave a speech at Congress despite the fact that he was not invited by the White House. In 2018 Netanyahu persuaded Trump to announce that the US was withdrawing from the deal and would impose “maximal pressure” and severe sanctions on Iran. While the sanctions harmed the Iranian economy, they did not make Teheran deviate from its nuclear path, just as many had warned. Teheran refused to negotiate a new and more comprehensive agreement, as Trump and Netanyahu wanted. At the same time, the Ayatollah regime expanded the Iranian nuclear infrastructure with multiple, scattered, fortified and well-protected facilities.During the Bennet-Lapid administration, the Israeli public gained an initial glimpse of the massive atrocity when it became known that Netanyahu had not prepared any alternative course of action should his bet on the Trump administration's withdrawal from the nuclear agreement fail to limit the Iranian nuclear program. One source described it as “desolation, neglect and zero preparedness.” Netanyahu's Iran policy did not contain even a single political-strategic component. He gambled - and we all lost. According to the latest report of the International Atomic Energy Agency, published in May 2024, Iran added more than 20 kg to its stockpile of uranium enriched to 60 percent purity, which in February stood at 122kg. Given the order, Iran will be able to produce the fissile material required for the production of nuclear bombs, uranium enriched to the level of 90 percent, in a quantity sufficient for several such bombs, within a few days. Great job, Netanyahu!
