Raza has urged the Dutch authorities to arrest Herzog as soon as he sets foot on Dutch soil.

President Isaac Herzog is expected to visit the Netherlands on Sunday, but there is a possibility that he may cancel, given a call for his immediate arrest by Haroon Raza of the March 30 Movement, which calls for the arrest of anyone implicated in what terms the “Gaza Genocide.”

Raza contends that Herzog’s actions and inactions, as well as his public statements, have served to contribute to the harsh conditions in Gaza, the high death toll, the attempt to justify disproportionate military actions by dehumanizing the Gazan people, and the destruction of holy sites and public buildings.

Calling for Herzog's arrest

Quoting documents by organizations such as Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, B’Tselem, and UNWRA, Raza has urged the Dutch authorities to arrest Herzog as soon as he sets foot on Dutch soil.

The March 30 Movement, which states that it is seeking justice for Palestinians, has published a WANTED poster featuring Herzog’s image.
