Israel has been spying on the court continuously, and trying to hack its databases;

 A major investigation reveals that since Palestine acceded to the ICC war crimes court in 2015:

* Israel has been spying on the court continuously, and trying to hack its databases; * Israel has directly threatened ICC officials and their families. Various plots have included smearing and intimidating the previous chief prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, trying to 'recruit' her, and launching a sting operation against her husband; * Israel has designated several Palestinian legal and human rights groups as 'terrorist organisations' for assisting the ICC; * Israel has intercepted all calls made between the ICC and Palestinians in the occupied territories, following a ban on ICC investigators entering the territories to conduct research. That not only explains why the ICC has been so incredibly slow in bringing any war crimes charges against Israeli leaders – it finally did so last week. It also indicates that Israel's strikes on Gaza might not only be targeting Hamas fighters. Palestinian witnesses to Israeli war crimes may have been priority targets for execution too.
