US Accused of Widespread Threats Against International Criminal Court
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.
