The Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem released video evidence on Thursday showing Israeli soldiers executing two Palestinian men during a military invasion in Jenin, in the occupied West Bank’s northern part.
The footage, published by the group, depicts Yousef Asa’sa (39) and al-Muntasir-Billah Abdullah (26) emerging from a building with their hands raised, fully complying with soldiers’ orders, before being shot at close range.
B’Tselem stated that the men posed no threat and were unarmed, and described the incident as a field execution, emblematic of Israel’s open-fire policy in the occupied West Bank.
B’Tselem’s executive director Yuli Novak condemned the killings, stating: “This represents the direct result of a reality in which Palestinians are stripped of their humanity and their lives are discarded without restraint.”
She emphasized that Israel lacks genuine accountability mechanisms and called on the international community to end the impunity granted to soldiers and colonizers.

Legal move in Brazil to seek former Israeli PM’s arrest during São Paulo visit

Former Israeli prime minister Naftali Bennett faces legal action in Brazil after the Brazil–Palestine Institute (IBRASPAL) submitted an official request to the federal judiciary calling for his arrest during his planned visit to São Paulo yesterday. His visit was scheduled for an event at what is known as the Hebraica Club of São Paulo, a Brazilian-Jewish social and recreational community centre.
The request is based on accusations of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide against Palestinian civilians, particularly in the Gaza Strip.
In an interview with Quds Press, the institute’s president, Ahmed Shahada, said Bennett’s entry into Brazilian territory “opens a clear legal window that allows the state to take judicial action if suspicion of his involvement in serious international crimes is confirmed”. He added that Brazilian legislation, along with the country’s international commitments, gives the federal judiciary the authority to open investigations and pursue such cases.
Shahada explained that “the legal grounds for the arrest request are based on Brazil’s commitment to prosecuting major international crimes under its legislative framework”, noting that the incorporation of the Geneva Conventions and the Rome Statute into national law “allows investigations to be opened against anyone entering the country who is suspected of committing serious crimes”.
