Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan talks before convening the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, Netherlands, March 14, 2025. AP President Donald Trump’s critics were clearly overreaching when they charged him with war crimes for his attacks on Iran. And now it’s becoming obvious that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s haters have been doing the same to him.
This month, the International Criminal Court voted to begin disciplinary proceedings against its Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan — the man who filed arrest warrants against Bibi and Defense Minister Yoav Gallan — over sexual-misconduct allegations.
Those allegations only further undermine the war-crimes case.
Of course, charges against Bibi & Co. never had a shred of legitimacy in the first place: They’re based on Israel’s entirely legitimate response to Hamas’ barbaric Oct. 7, 2023, massacre.
In fact, that response — a two-year war to eliminate terrorists who threatened to repeat their horrors if they ever got the chance — was a case study in humane warfare, featuring the lowest ratio in recent-war history of civilians-to-enemy-combatant deaths.
Reports suggest that Khan filed the anti-Israel warrants only weeks after colleagues confronted him with the sexual-misconduct allegations.
One witness claims he quickly sought to blame Mossad for the charges.
Yet if Khan truly believed the Israeli spy agency was involved, then he surely should’ve recused himself from a war-crimes case against . . . Israel.
That Khan “specifically blamed the Mossad for his problems shows he is fundamentally compromised and the investigation that he launched . . . in any normal legal system would be dismissed with extreme prejudice,” law professor Euguene Kontorovich told Fox News Digital.
The fact that “such a politicized investigation would be allowed to proceed” shows just “how broken” the ICC is.
Of course, if Khan is guilty of “non-consensual sexual contact” with an employee, as one probe found (though officials said it lacked sufficient evidence to prove that legally), and Mossad had nothing to do with it, he’d know that.
And his actions — and those of the ICC — surely would’ve been motivated by nothing more than a desire to slam the Jewish state.
Either way, it’s clear America’s refusal to join this putrid “court” has been the right move all along.
As was Team Trump’s decision to impose sanctions on Khan and other ICC officials.
Here’s hoping those disciplinary proceedings against him result in the kind of penalties he richly deserves — disbarment, maybe?
Then the world will need to figure out what to do about the rest of the rotten ICC.
