US Accused of Widespread Threats Against International Criminal Court

ICC official reveals widespread U.S. threats against court staff in support of Zionist regime.

According to a report by webangah News ​Agency, British lawyer Andrew⁤ Cayley, the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) lead investigator into the Zionist regime’s actions, resigned ⁢following threats from U.S. officials. The Observer newspaper first broke the story.

Cayley had‌ been gathering evidence regarding ⁢alleged war crimes during operation ⁣Al-Aqsa Storm when he received threatening phone calls. The 61-year-old had self-funded parts of his examination into these violations.

“From early 2024 when I began this work,” Cayley stated,⁤ “I knew it wouldn’t be easy due to⁤ obstruction by the Zionist regime and their opposition to ICC proceedings.”

The pressure intensified after the ICC ⁣issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Cayley explained. U.S.politicians ‌openly threatened court officials, with Senator Lindsey Graham reportedly ​shouting at ICC staff members.‌ “The American pressure became so severe that my health deteriorated,” Cayley⁣ said, leaving him no choice but to resign.

He described receiving ⁣threats ranging ‌from physical violence to economic sanctions against him personally.
