Dutch judges ruled on Tuesday that two top Israeli military commanders cannot be sued for killing a Palestinian family in the Gaza Strip. The appeals court in The Hague decided that the commanders enjoy “functional immunity” because they were acting on behalf of the Israeli state. The Palestinian-Dutch citizen, Ismail Ziada, has been suing Benny Gantz, Israeli army chief at the time, and Amir Eshel, then air force chief, for the decision to bomb his family’s home during Israel’s 2014 assault on Gaza.
