Netanyahu: ICC dismissal of Karim Khan ‘exposes the truth’
The former chief prosecutor issued arrest warrants against him “to divert attention from the allegations against him," the Israeli premier said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the International Criminal Court's decision to remove Karim Khan as chief prosecutor following an investigation into sexual misconduct allegations. Netanyahu stated, "This decision exposes the truth. Karim Khan was accused of sexually harassing women who worked under him." He further claimed that Khan canceled a planned visit to Israel and pursued arrest warrants against him and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant "to divert attention from the allegations against him." Khan, who denied wrongdoing, had been on voluntary leave since May and was suspended in June. Netanyahu also asserted that "corruption" has infected the ICC and mentioned U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's determination to "act forcefully" against the court.
