ICC prosecutor was readying warrants for Smotrich, Ben Gvir before going on leave — WSJ
But now he’s gone, and they… aren’t. A theme throughout Jewish history.
[IsraelTimes] ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan was readying to request arrest warrants for Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir before going on leave amid a sexual misconduct probe, the Wall Street Journal reports.

According the US newspaper, which cites current and former International Criminal Court officials, Khan was building a case against Smotrich and Ben Gvir over their roles in promoting Jewish settlements in the West Bank.

Other unidentified officials besides Ben Gvir and Smotrich are also reportedly being investigated by the ICC for working to expand settlements.

It is unclear whether Khan’s deputies will move forward with the case against the two far-right ministers, with the report noting such a move could bring further US sanctions and would entail deep political risks at a time when the court has no top prosecutor in place.
