ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan asked a woman who accused him of sexual assault to drop charges so he could issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday.
Some details about the allegations became known in November, shortly before the International Criminal Court issued at Khan’s request the warrant for the arrest of Netanyahu and Israel’s then defense minister, Yoav Gallant. The Journal’s exposé offers new details on the allegations against Khan and how he allegedly linked the charges to the arrest warrants against Israeli leaders.
The complainant, a Malaysian lawyer with whom Khan had traveled and worked closely for years, alleged that Khan sexually assaulted her several times in several countries, and that he’d warned her that pursuing charges against him would damage “the justice of the victims,” according to testimony reviewed by the Journal.
“Think about the Palestinian arrest warrants,” he was quoted as saying.
The timing of the arrest warrants issued in November 2024 for alleged war crimes raised suspicions that Khan’s decision was calculated to deflect attention from the sex scandal, which came to light internally a few weeks earlier, the Journal reported.
Khan, through legal counsel, has denied any sexual misconduct and dismissed any link between the allegations and his pursuit of the Israeli warrants.
Khan’s warrant applications meant he supported the anti-Israel line of several ICC member states. The international tribunal is not part of the U.N. and derives its mandate from the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, a treaty that Israel, the United States and several other countries did not sign.
