Is the ICC Prosecuting or Persecuting Israel? Does it Matter? with Michal Cotler-Wunsh

Fatou Bensouda, the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) lead prosecutor, initiated a formal investigation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in late 2019. Despite Israel’s objections, she moved forward on the basis of Palestinian consent. This investigation raises concerns that the ICC is ignoring clear international law to pursue a politically expedient investigation. Has the OTP gone rogue? What implications does this case have for the Court? Does it matter for Israel?
