The Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) has filed a criminal complaint with Vietnamese authorities against Israeli reservist Matan Jerafi, who is currently vacationing in Vietnam.

In a statement, HRF said Jerafi is the CEO of the Israeli NGO Im Tirtzu and a member of the 920th Infantry Battalion of the 769th Brigade.

HRF said evidence indicates Jerafi took part in destroying civilian infrastructure in Gaza between December 2023 and January 2024 and in Lebanon between October and November 2024.

In a February 2024 statement, Jerafi said Gaza's civilians were “part of Hamas” and that there should be no “mercy” for them, according to HRF.

Natacha Bracq, HRF's head of litigation, said: “Vietnam, as a signatory to the Geneva Conventions and the Genocide Convention, has a clear legal obligation to investigate HRF’s serious allegations. It is unacceptable that Matan Jerafi is vacationing among the Vietnamese people after having actively participated in and publicly incited the genocide of Palestinians.”
