Don't know, but I wish I was there to give him a slap across his face.

Maybe, KSA has also made slight overtures to the Iranian regime, probably more of the same. At the same time, it could just be KSA seeing itself as a leader in the Arab world, speaking of for their brothers.

Posturing so they negotiate from a stronger position.

Hasn't been discussed here, but this has been going on for some time. The accusation from Israel/allies is that he only brought charges against Bibi and friends to distract from the allegations against him.

I don't think so. This seems to me to be a recent development. The claim was reported in May.

In fact, some have suggested it's the other way around. Israel is trying to derail the case against them by discrediting him.

Five ICC sources familiar with the situation said that while Israel or its allies might be attempting to take advantages of the allegations, many within Khan’s top team did not believe they had been invented by external actors hostile to the court.

Pro-Israeli interests “may have exploited the story but they didn’t create the story”, one official said.

The claim was reported in early May. Khan announced warrants in late May.
