Israel Accused of Spying on ICC, Dutch Foreign Ministry Takes Action

Reports revealed that Israel conducted a secret surveillance operation targeting ICC officials and Palestinian rights workers to obstruct the probe. The Netherlands, as the host state of the ICC, is obligated to ensure the safety and security of court staff.
Dutch Lawmakers Call for Probe into Israeli Actions
In response, Dutch lawmakers have demanded an investigation into Israel’s alleged espionage to disrupt ICC proceedings against Israeli and Palestinian officials. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu reportedly fears arrest warrants from the ICC.
