ICC prosecutor issued warrants for Netanyahu to make West 'turn against Israel' [View all]

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/icc-issued-warrants-for-netanyahu-to-make-west-turn-against-israel/ar-AA1EEOhk?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=28d1fb764187461aafd9252f0d502ffc&ei=22

The diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that he believed Khan’s decision to issue arrest warrants against Israeli leaders was based on a combination of a desire to see powerful, Western nations turn against Israel and inspire public pressure from pro-Palestinian groups.

He recalled a conversation he had with Khan last year, where Khan allegedly said: “You just wait and see. If I apply for warrants against Netanyahu, this would give countries like Germany and Canada the excuse they need to turn against the Israeli government.”
