Israel’s made “no real effort” to probe Gaza war crimes – ICC prosecutor
Karim Khan, the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor, has defended his decision to bring allegations of war crimes against Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, claiming that the country has made “no real effort” to probe the allegations, Asharq Al-Awsat via Reuters reported on January 17th.
In an interview with Reuters, Khan continued to uphold his decision about the arrest warrant, in spite of a vote taking place last week by the US House of Representatives to sanction the ICC in protest. Khan described this outcome as “unwanted and unwelcome,”
ICC judges gave arrests warrants for Netanyahu, former Israeli defense chief, Yoav Gallant and Hamas leader, Ibrahim Al-Masri in November, for alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes during the conflict in Gaza.
