What next for the ICC and the Palestine investigation after Karim Khan's removal?
The International Criminal Court (ICC) removed chief prosecutor Karim Khan in a vote, marking the first time a sitting prosecutor has been dismissed. His removal raises questions about the stalled Palestine investigation, the election for his successor, and the status of arrest warrants for Israeli leaders issued under his leadership. Israel's government welcomed the decision, calling it 'long-delayed' and urging the court to drop the warrants.
