LONDON: Karim Khan, chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, has urged judges to reject legal challenges disputing the court’s power to issue arrest warrants for Israeli nationals, confirming the warrants are well within the ICC’s purview. Khan applied for warrants in May for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and three Hamas leaders — Yahya Sinwar, Ismail Haniyeh, and Mohammed Deif — on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
