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

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.
