ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan was preparing arrest warrants against Israel’s ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir atop Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s before stepping aside due to a “misconduct probe.”
With Khan on leave, the decision now lies with his deputies, though it remains unclear whether they will proceed. Some legal experts suggest the court may hesitate without a sitting chief prosecutor, citing the political fallout of targeting senior Israeli officials amid growing scrutiny of Israeli apartheid and war crimes.
