Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

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. The ICC, which prosecutes war crimes and crimes against humanity, faces contempt from the U.S., which has never recognized its authority. Critics, including the UN, have condemned the sanctions, asserting they undermine international justice. Additionally, Khan is facing allegations of misconduct, which he denies.
