Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), has temporarily stepped down following allegations of sexual misconduct.
Khan was leading high-profile investigations and had recently issued arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders over the Gaza conflict, as well as pursuing cases against Russian officials. His departure comes amid mounting pressure and controversy, raising questions about the future of these sensitive war crimes cases. The ICC has confirmed that deputy prosecutors will take over his duties while the investigation is ongoing.
The scandal has intensified calls from critics to reconsider or rescind the court's actions against Israeli leaders.
