The International Criminal Court (ICC) has removed Karim Khan from his position as chief prosecutor. Khan, who served as the head of the tribunal’s prosecution office, was responsible for issuing an official arrest warrant in 2024 for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The warrant against Netanyahu was issued on charges of war crimes, designating the prime minister as a fugitive of the court. The removal of the chief prosecutor marks a significant development within the international body, occurring while the legal proceedings regarding the allegations against the Israeli leader remain a focal point of the tribunal's activities.
