The International Criminal Court (ICC) is facing significant pressure and threats following reports of potential arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas officials related to the Oct. 7 attack and subsequent war in Gaza. The ICC's prosecutor's office, led by Karim Khan, has called for an end to what it describes as retaliation threats, which could be considered an offense against the court's administration of justice. These threats have been linked to attempts to impede or intimidate court officials, a violation under Article 70 of the Rome Statute. The situation escalated with comments from Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, which the ICC claims threaten its independence and impartiality. The court has publicly condemned the intimidation and undue influence, particularly from the US and Israel, with US politicians even threatening sanctions, warning that such actions also constitute crimes.
