U.S. Senator Peter Welch (D-Vt.) and U.S. Representative Sara Jacobs (D-CA-51) today introduced legislation, the Justice for Hind Rajab Act, that would require the U.S. government to investigate and hold accountable those responsible for the killing of the 5-year-old Palestinian girl whose story inspired the Oscar-nominated docudrama The Voice of Hind Rajab.
The act, details of which were provided exclusively to The Hollywood Reporter by Welch and Jacobs will require the Trump administration “to provide comprehensive answers on the death of Hind and broader patterns of civilian harm in Gaza to reassert the United States’ commitment to the Geneva Conventions and the prosecution of war crimes.”
