Israel questions 'impartiality' of ICC judge

Israel has requested that International Criminal Court Judge Beti Hohler prove her “impartiality” in adjudicating Israel’s legal challenges at the ICC.

Israel has asked whether Hohler previously worked on an investigation into the “situation in Palestine”.

Israel claims that Hohler previously worked in the office of the ICC chief prosecutor who requested arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, among other Israeli and Hamas officials.
