In an unprecedented escalation, lawyers in Australia and Malaysia have collaborated to formally call upon the Malaysian Government to issue an extradition request for Israeli President Isaac Herzog, based on the principle of universal jurisdiction for genocide and crimes against humanity.
The initiative follows a detailed 30-page legal complaint filed on Jan 29, 2026 in Australia on behalf of the Australian National Imams Council (ANIC), the Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF), and the Jewish Council of Australia, and is represented by Robert Richter KC.
