In what way has Israel bullied members on the HR council?

They use America to sanction the participants: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/07/09/us-sanctions... Just one example of many.

Inb4 whining that it's just the American government being slavishly loyal to the Zionist cause and the Zionist government of Israel has nothing at all to do with this. I swear to god if I get any response like this I will literally go blind from my eyeballs doing full 360s in my skull.

I couldn't find any info on intimidation of HR council members. Nevertheless there were reports of the Israeli Mossad chief intimidating the ICC chief prosecutor at the time Fatou Bensouda. [1]

Her successor Karim Khan has also reported threats were made. He was later implicated in a sex scandal [2]. It would not surprise me if this was a Mossad sting operation.

Edit: as the sibling comment states, the Americans have put in place sanctions against members of the HR council, along members of the ICC.
