Who is Karim Khan, chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court?
He has applied for an arrest warrant for Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister
KARIM KHAN said he would bring “determination” and “stamina” to the job of chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Court (ICC). The British barrister will need those qualities as he confronts the political firestorm that he caused by applying for arrest warrants for Israel’s prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, and defence minister, Yoav Gallant, as well as three leaders of Hamas. Mr Khan says he has “reasonable grounds” to believe they are responsible for crimes against humanity and war crimes, including, in the Israelis’ case, using “starvation as a weapon of war”.
