A group of Indonesians has filed a complaint against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of abuses of power during the 2010 Gaza flotilla incident. The complaint, lodged with the International Criminal Court, seeks legal action against Netanyahu for the deaths and injuries sustained by activists during the raid on the flotilla.

The activists were attempting to break the blockade of the Gaza Strip when Israeli naval commandos boarded their ships. The raid resulted in the deaths of nine Turkish citizens and one dual Turkish-American citizen, with several others injured. The Indonesian complainants were also on board the flotilla and claim to have suffered abuses during the incident.

This legal action is part of ongoing efforts by various groups to hold Israeli officials accountable for actions taken during the blockade of Gaza. The Gaza flotilla incident drew widespread international condemnation and further strained relations between Israel and Turkey.
