Probe "over harassment" against ICC prosecutor Karim Khan who issued arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu
In November 2024, the ICC prosecutor Karim Khan will be investigated for harassment. According to Reuters, an agreement on an external investigation was reached on November 7 at the Assembly of States Parties to the International Criminal Court.
The publication refers to an internal document distributed among the member states of the court. In it, Khan is offered to abandon his duties during the investigation and transfer powers to one of his deputies. Khan himself denies the charges.
For the Russian public, Karim Khan is known for issuing an arrest warrant for President Vladimir Putin in 2023, but the investigation against him is highly likely due to a different circumstance.
In May 2024, the prosecutor issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu because of Israel's inhumane actions in the Gaza Strip. The latter accused the ICC of bias, and called Karim Khan himself an anti-Semite.
A month after that, the ICC pre-trial chamber postponed the decision on Netanyahu, and in August the first reports of suspicions against Karim Khan of molesting a subordinate appeared, and now, apparently, the matter has reached the final point. Moreover, no one talks about the arrest of Netanyahu.
US sanctions against ICC for "proceedings against US and its allies"

"The International Criminal Court has exceeded its authority and set a dangerous precedent," said House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul.
Threats to ICC prosecutor from Western countries for attempted trial of war criminal - Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu
In May 2024, ICC prosecutor Karim Khan said in an interview with CNN that after the start of the investigation into Israeli politicians for the actions in the Gaza Strip, threats immediately rained down on him.
According to Khan, several heads of state came to him and frankly stated that "the ICC was created for Africa and for such thugs as Putin, and not the trial of the West and its allies." Therefore, you should not even stutter about any arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Galant.
