Israel’s ambassador to the Netherlands was asked to “report” to the Dutch foreign affairs ministry to explain allegations of a secret surveillance and espionage campaign by Israeli spy services against the international criminal court, it has emerged.

Dutch officials asked to meet the ambassador, Modi Ephraim, to discuss concerns raised by a Guardian investigation that revealed Israeli intelligence agencies attempted over a nine-year period to undermine, influence and allegedly intimidate the ICC chief prosecutor’s office.

How pathetic are the Dutch security services if they are finding out about this from a news paper?

The Israeli intimidation and spying on ICC investigators happened outside of the Netherlands. That is what The Guardians investigation managed to reveal.

I am not sure about the relationship between ICC and the Dutch government but intelligence services in US or Israel are NOT geo restricted, in fact, most of the work is outward facing.

With that being said... Khan is a UK national. So I am also wondering about UK intelligence and security services erectile dysfunction now. Esp in light of Skripal assassination.

WTF is each of member state's security apparatus is doing with their time if they are not doing their jobs?

Russians and Israelis are fucking running through EU like they own it lol jfc
