Human rights organizations have filed criminal complaints against an Israeli Foreign Minister in Slovenia, alleging war crimes, genocide, and torture related to actions in Gaza. While the specific minister named varies across reports (Lapid vs. Sa'ar), the core action of a legal challenge under universal jurisdiction ahead of a diplomatic visit is consistent.
