I think it's more about draining the resources of a museum with costly litigation, which is the typical MO.

One of the most prominent witnesses in the ICC Genocide case against Israel is a British Palestinian doctor who only recently won a 2 year long litigation battle against "UK lawyers for Israel" in January, which UKLFI is trying to reopen again this past March - each legal battle costs him about £150,000, not to mention time and money from his actual job of being a doctor.

    It does look like a SLAPP suit.

    If it doesn't get rejected outright, might as well make it painful for the plaintif. The plaintif may not fear an expensive court case, but they may fear dirt being dug up and exposed publicly.
