The International Criminal Court prosecutor who issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been fired after being accused of sexual misconduct. The move comes amid controversy surrounding the prosecutor's handling of Netanyahu case, which also drew attention to a threat made by New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
The International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, has been fired after allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced against him. The development comes amid controversy surrounding a warrant issued for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which became a focal point in New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani's threat to arrest the Israeli leader. Khan had previously faced backlash for his handling of the Netanyahu case and its connection to Mamdani's statement. The ICC's board of directors announced Khan's departure on Tuesday without providing further details.
