INVESTIGATE ISAAC HERZOG

On 29 December 2025, the Australian Friends of Palestine Association formally requested that Isaac Herzog be investigated should he enter Australia

We know that the International Court of Justice cited Mr Herzog’s statements when assessing the risk of genocide in Gaza. We know that the United Nations Independent Commission of Inquiry found that Mr Herzog’s statements amounted to direct and public incitement to commit genocide under the Genocide Convention. We know that he is the Head of an Apartheid state.

A leader accused of inciting genocide should not be welcomed into this country. If Herzog does visit Australia, he must be investigated under Australian and International Law.

Herzog should know that Australians see him for what he really is - a criminal.

Dear Attorney-General Rowland,

I am writing as a concerned Australian about the proposed  visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog to Australia in January 2026. Findings by the United Nations Independent Commission of Inquiry indicate that Mr Herzog’s statements and actions may constitute incitement of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. These are crimes under international law. Under  Australia’s Criminal Code Act 1995, the Australian Federal Police has the power and duty to investigate such crimes, even if committed overseas.

I urge you to take immediate action:

• Commit to investigating Mr Herzog if he enters Australia

• Ensure that Australia does not become a safe haven for leaders accused of genocide

• Take immediate and serious action to uphold Australia’s obligations under International Humanitarian Law

Allowing a leader accused of such grave crimes to visit our country without investigation undermines the rule of law, Australia’s obligations under the Genocide Convention, and our values as a nation.

I call upon you to uphold justice and act decisively.
