✍️SIGN: Detain and investigate Herzog
Israeli President Isaac Herzog is visiting Australia as an official guest while an ongoing genocide is unfolding in Gaza.
International bodies have found that statements made by President Herzog may amount to incitement of genocide – a crime under international law and Australia's own Criminal Code. When credible allegations of serious crimes exist, Australian authorities have a responsibility to investigate while the person is in the country. That responsibility can include detention as part of due process.
With the visit happening soon and the issue in the headlines, this petition makes public opposition stronger and more visible while it still matters. It shows the government that this visit is being watched and challenged.
