Karim Khan dared to hold Israel to account - and that's why he was brought down
Karim Khan, the International Criminal Court prosecutor, was dismissed amid a campaign involving media outlets and political pressure after issuing arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister. Israel's UN ambassador Danny Danon linked Khan's removal to allegations of sexual misconduct, which Khan's investigation had preceded.
