Fatou Bensouda, who led the ICJ from 2012 to 2021, said a two men with ties to Israel came to her house in The Hague after she opened the investigation in 2015 in order to intimidate her.
“I felt left alone. I felt unsupported,” she said.
Bensouda also said that Mossad repeatedly pressured her to drop the investigation during official meetings with the chief of the Israeli spy agency.
“What was clear what that he didn’t want the investigation on Palestine to go on,” Bensouda said.
“Also there are even authorities (of some countries) that have appealed to me. ‘You really need to stop, this is going very far’. You could be harmed or you could be killed or family members could be harmed in some ways. But to me, it was out of the question,” Bensouda added.
