Cohen is accused of saying to the ICC prosecutor: 'You should help us and let us take care of you. You don’t want to be getting into things that could compromise your security or that of your family.'
Cohen is accused of saying to the ICC prosecutor: "You should help us and let us take care of you. You don’t want to be getting into things that could compromise your security or that of your family."Cohen, described as one of the prime minister's "closest allies" and "unofficial messenger," is said to have led Mossad's role in Israel's nearly decade-long effort to undermine the ICC.
"Yossi Cohen’s covert contacts with the ICC’s then prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, took place in the years leading up to her decision to open a formal investigation into alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in occupied Palestinian territories,"That investigation, which began in 2021, culminated last week when Karim Khan, Bensouda's successor, announced that he was seeking an arrest warrant for Netanyahu for the country's actions during the Gaza war.
According to the report, a senior Israeli official's actions were sanctioned"at a high level" and justified in light of the court's perceived threat of prosecuting military personnel.
