Chief Prosecutor of the global Criminal Court (ICT) Karim Khan launched a plan to issue arrest warrants for Israeli leaders shortly after they faced sexual harassment charges, reports The Wall Street Journal, citing papers from the United Nations scandal investigation.
Khan announced that he would file arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then defence Minister Yoava Gallant on 20 May last year, only 2 and a half weeks after he learned of sexual harassment charges against him, reported the Journal."Time of announcement raised questions as to whether Khan intended to defend himself from sexual assault charges" “The paper suggested it.According to material reviewed by the WSJ, Khan's alleged sexual abuse began in late 2023 erstwhile "55-year-old prosecutor increasingly attacked his team" After a wave of criticism fell on him.
Pro-Palestine activists called it “Helping genocide” and accused the ICC of not acting in the conflict in Gaza.One of his assistants, "a female in her 30s who has frequently traveled with him in connection with her work", asked for a meeting, ‘to get him to relax’, as reported.
Khan allegedly invited her to his suite at the Millennium Hilton Hotel next to the United Nations, where he committed sexual assault on her.“She said that she tried to leave the area respective times but took her hand and yet dragged her to bed.
Then he took off her pants and forced her to have sex, according to the testimony”, reads in the report.Mistaken behaviour allegedly continued after the first incidental erstwhile Khan repeatedly performed "indecent sexual acts" with his worker while travelling to fresh York City, Colombia, Congo, Chad and Paris, as well as ‘in his wife's residence where he resided in The Hague’, according to the prosecutor's evidence cited by the WSJ.A woman, a lawyer from Malaysia, for any time kept quiet about the affair, fearing retaliation from Khan and losing her job.
When accusations became known in the organization, the prosecutor tried to put force on her to disown them and insisted that the scandal would yet harm the Gaza investigation, claims a female in her testimony.Khan's lawyers rejected all charges, stating that "It is not entirely actual that he has committed any kind of sexual misconduct".
The prosecutor has previously committed to ‘full and transparent cooperation with an external investigation’ and denied any “retaliatory behaviour’ to his prosecutor or another employees.Israel asked the global Criminal Court to retreat the warrants for the arrest of Netanjah and Gallant on 21 November last year.
The country rejects the jurisdiction of the Hague-based court and besides called on the authority to suspend the investigation of alleged atrocities in the Gaza Strip completely.
