The Hind Rajab Foundation, an activist legal group, filed a criminal complaint in Italy against Israel's Minister of Environmental Protection, Idit Silman, accusing her of incitement to commit genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. The complaint was lodged after Silman traveled to Italy on September 6, 2026, with her husband. The foundation said the complaint documents what it calls a 'sustained and escalating campaign' of public statements by Silman, part of a broader pattern of legal actions the group has pursued against Israeli officials in European jurisdictions over alleged war crimes and incitement related to the Gaza war.
