Report: Before 'taking leave,' ICC prosecutor prepared arrest warrants for Ben-Gvir and Smotrich

|
The Wall Street Journal reported that International Criminal Court Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan intended to request arrest warrants for Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir before he 'took leave' due to sexual misconduct investigations. According to judicial sources, the warrants focus on their role in settlement expansion, and the decision has now passed to his deputies, with unclear direction on how they will proceed. Official sources doubt the court will advance this without a sitting chief prosecutor.
