Major General Ghassan Alian’s Vatican Meeting Cancelled After HRF Complaint Against Him at the ICC24/1/2025
The legal action by the Hind Rajab Foundation against Major General Ghassan Alian in Italy had a significant impact. Reports indicate that a confidential meeting Alian was scheduled to attend with a highly placed official at the Vatican did not go through, as it was apparently canceled by the Vatican following the HRF's complaint filed against him at the ICC and with Italian authorities on January 13, 2025. Notably, Alian did meet with the head of Italian intelligence during his visit.
This highlights the effectiveness of our actions and demonstrates that the global push for accountability and justice cannot be ignored. Alian’s Role in Atrocities Since April 2021, Alian has led the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), overseeing the West Bank’s administration and Gaza’s blockade. Following October 7, 2023, he enforced a total siege on Gaza, cutting off food, water, electricity, and medical supplies. This deliberate deprivation has resulted in mass starvation, civilian deaths, and the destruction of critical infrastructure, including hospitals. Under Alian’s leadership, COGAT coordinated military actions targeting civilian infrastructure and imposing collective punishment on Gaza, actions described by the UN and human rights groups as war crimes and crimes against humanity.
