From his wiki :
In February 2021, Khan was elected the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC). In May 2024, he announced the ICC's decision to apply for arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif, and Ismail Haniyeh for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
But for the Guardian :
Addressing the allegations last month, Khan said “this is a moment in which myself and the ICC are subject to a wide range of attacks and threats”.
They prefer to be naive than conspiratorial i guess :
Two sources said that if there had been genuine concerns that the alleged victim was part of a plot, she would have been removed from her position and her access to deliberations in the Palestine case would have been revoked, but this did not happen.
“For a second I had my doubts, but if you look at the timeline and the details of how this came about it has nothing to do with any kind of plot,” one ICC official said. “I don’t think anyone in the [prosecutor’s] office seriously believes in that.”
(What about the timeline then ? Why don't they tell us the date ? A.f.a.i.k. these accusations began in May 2024, not before Oct.7th, seems like the article ended like others on a manipulation)
Yeah, i agree that this news is w/e, but this post is useful to know/'be reminded' about the classical western "playbook", many people asked him to quit his position afterwards. It's usually kinda forbidden to doubt the words of the "victim"(liar/agressor).
Good to insist that it is far from the only pressure they received, here's their president a few weeks ago, and here's a suspicious replacement(, i don't remember the details,) on health grounds at the exact same period.
« America should punish the i.c.c. and put Karim Khan back in his place »
Liberals don't have the excuse of saying that this is exclusive to D.Trump.
Trump will probably(, e.g.,) endorse Israel's annexation b.t.w., i think it's time to be ready for that. What could Israel's neighbors do ? They're not even willing to cut ties, probably because of the consequences, so nothing will happen on their part.
Let's say that they're waiting for better times before acting(, and that Israel won't be able to ask for a 50-50 split at that moment).
