Investigation reveals Spying, hacking and intimidation: Israel’s nine-year ‘war’ on the ICC 🔥

Summary on how intelligence agencies tried to derail war crimes prosecution, with Netanyahu ‘obsessed’ with intercepts 1. ICC Chief Prosecutor's Warning: The ICC chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, warned against any interference with the court's officials, indicating that such acts are criminal offences under the court's treaty. 2. Lack of Specifics: Khan did not specify who was attempting to interfere or how they were doing so. 3. Investigation Findings: An investigation by the Guardian and Israeli-based magazines revealed that Israel has conducted a secret campaign against the ICC for nearly a decade. 4. Methods Used: Israel used intelligence agencies to surveil, hack, pressure, smear, and allegedly threaten ICC officials, including intercepting communications. 5. Surveillance Details: Israeli intelligence intercepted phone calls, messages, emails, and documents of ICC officials, including Khan and his predecessor, Fatou Bensouda. 6. Recent Surveillance: Surveillance continued recently, with Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu being informed in advance of the ICC's intentions. 7. Bensouda’s Experience: Former ICC chief prosecutor Bensouda, who initiated the ICC’s investigation in 2021, was also spied on and allegedly threatened. 8. Netanyahu's Involvement: Netanyahu was heavily involved in the intelligence operations against the ICC, coordinated by his national security advisers and involving multiple intelligence agencies. 9. Covert Operation: A covert operation against Bensouda was personally managed by Mossad director Yossi Cohen, who even involved the president of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. 10. Duration of Campaign: Israel’s campaign to disrupt the ICC’s inquiry spanned nine years, as uncovered by the joint investigation. 11. Investigation Sources: The investigation included interviews with over two dozen Israeli intelligence officers, ICC figures, diplomats, and lawyers familiar with the case. 12. ICC's Awareness and Response: The ICC is aware of hostile intelligence activities and is implementing countermeasures, maintaining that its core evidence holdings remain secure. 13. Israeli Denials: Israel's prime minister’s office denied the allegations, and the military stated it does not conduct surveillance against the ICC. 14. ICC’s Role and Cases: Since its establishment in 2002, the ICC prosecutes individuals accused of severe atrocities, having charged figures like Omar al-Bashir, Muammar Gaddafi, and Vladimir Putin. 15. Current Arrest Warrants: Khan's decision to seek arrest warrants against Israeli leaders Netanyahu and Gallant, and Hamas leaders, is unprecedented for involving a leader of a close western ally. archive.ph/83wqp
