U.S. Sanctions ICC Prosecutor Amid Controversial Investigations of Israeli Figures
The U.S. imposed sanctions on ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan following Trump's executive order over the court's investigations into Israel.
Overview
The U.S. has sanctioned Karim Khan, the ICC's chief prosecutor, under a recent executive order from President Trump. This action follows the court's investigations into alleged war crimes by Israeli officials, including an arrest warrant for Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Critics, including the UN, have condemned the sanctions, asserting they undermine international justice. Additionally, Khan is facing allegations of misconduct, which he denies.
