Legal request urges US arrest of Israeli officer over killing of Hind Rajab

The Hind Rajab Foundation filed an urgent request with the US Department of Justice to arrest Israeli officer Sean Glass on war crimes and genocide charges.

• The foundation accuses Glass of ordering a tank to fire on the vehicle carrying five-year-old Hind Rajab and her family in Gaza City.
• The foundation also accuses Glass of targeting a Palestine Red Crescent ambulance sent to rescue them.
• US Representative Rashida Tlaib said the US government is legally obligated to arrest and investigate Glass as a party to the Genocide Convention and Geneva Conventions.
• The foundation says the accusations fall under US war crimes law (Title 18, section 2441) and US genocide law (section 1091).
