Le Monde publishes new details of campaign against Karim Khan and ICC

...

In a story published on Friday, the French newspaper quoted British barrister Andrew Cayley, who oversaw the ICC's Palestine investigation, saying Dutch intelligence informed him that he was at risk in The Hague.

Cayley said that in December 2024 he was directly threatened: "I was told I was an enemy of Israel and that I should watch my back."

...

According to Le Monde, in May 2024 Lynch suggested that Khan organise a dinner in Jerusalem with prominent lawyer Alan Dershowitz.

The plan was that Netanyahu himself would join them in the middle of the meal.

...

Le Monde also reported that on 23 April 2024, then-British Foreign Secretary David Cameron threatened Khan in a phone call that Britain would withdraw from the ICC if the court issued arrest warrants for Israeli leaders.
