"Palestinian representatives were quick to push back on that narrative. 'The vote...to remove the Prosecutor was not a political proxy vote on any Situation before the ICC,'" a Palestinian ambassador said. "Khan’s removal will have no immediate impact on the arrest warrants [for Israeli officials] which can only be withdrawn by ICC judges."
