ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan stated that Israel threatened his wife and children if he continued pursuing arrest warrants against its leaders accused of committing genocide.
In an interview with Al Arabiya English, Khan said that a 5,000-page report issued by the UN Office of Internal Oversight Services cleared him of any wrongdoing. He added that the ICC Bureau, the court’s main oversight body, appointed three judges to review the report, and they confirmed on 21 March 2026 that there was no evidence indicating any misconduct.
He also said that he had not fully understood the extent of influence held by governments and states he described as aligned with the US and Israel, noting that 12 US senators contacted him and threatened his family if he continued pursuing action against Israel.
So evil. Never forget nor forgive, the Israelis zip tied the wrists of men, women, children and babies at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, before murdering them.

Two Muslim men pulled an elderly couple and their grandson from a burning house in Leeds last Friday.
You probably didn’t hear about it.
Mohsin Qayyum. 22.
Mohammed Yusuf Iqbal. 20.
Both from Bradford.
They drove past the garden. They saw the fire. They ran straight in.
Sheila Robinson, the grandmother who was trapped inside, posted on social media:
"My family and I will be forever grateful to these young men."
Her granddaughter Kayla wrote:
"Drove past the garden, seen it, and ran straight in and made sure everyone was okay without a second thought."
Everyone got out. The house can be replaced. The family is alive.
Every outlet that covered it called them heroes.
They deserved every word.
But not one headline told you they were Muslim men.
We have seen this before.
Two weeks ago, a teacher was stabbed in the neck protecting his pupils from a knife in his Manchester classroom.
Maysum Abdullah. 27. Science teacher.
LBC named him a hero. So did the Independent, the Manchester Evening News, the Mirror, the Sun.
He ran towards the blade.
A hero in every paper. A Muslim man in none of them.
This is the pattern.
When a Muslim name appears in a crime, the faith leads the headline.
When a Muslim name appears in a rescue, it vanishes from the page.
Now look at who that erasure clears the path for.
Bradford, the same district these men come from, is now led by Reform as its largest party.
One of their candidates, Daniel Devaney, topped the poll in his ward after writing on Facebook that Muslims were "pure scum" and that he wanted to "blast [them] off the face of the earth."
He was not deselected. He was not suspended. He was elected.
They are loud about our religion when they want to call it a threat.
They are silent when that same religion sends two young men running into a fire.
The book they want to criticise is the same book that commands us to save a life.
"Whoever saves one life, it is as if he had saved all of mankind."
— Qur'an 5:32
Qayyum and Iqbal lived that verse on a Friday in Leeds.
Abdullah lived it in a Manchester classroom.
And the headlines recorded the act, but erased the faith that drove it.
When we are the suspect, our religion is the whole story.
When we are the rescuer, it is not worth a line.
Their names are Maysum Abdullah, Mohsin Qayyum, and Mohammed Yusuf Iqbal.
Muslim men.
Say both.

A teenager holding a white flag shot down from a quadcopter in his own home. A newborn baby shot in the head while breastfeeding inside a tent. These are some of the horrific accounts of Israel’s targeting of Palestinian children from the UN’s latest report. @mehdirhasan shares:
"The scandal is not that the Jewish community received solidarity. It is that the same instinct simply has not been extended to Britain’s Muslims. There has been no Cobra meeting....not a single newspaper outside Scotland has carried the Edinburgh attacks on its front page."

People will attack this policy, but after extensive government consultation, 90% of the parents of under-16s support it. They have watched social media consume huge portions of their children’s lives, so have a very different perspective.
Social media amplifies narcissism, materialism, envy and division at an age when young minds are still developing. It keeps children trapped in a digital ecosystem designed to maximise engagement at the expense of real-world experiences, time outdoors, hobbies, independence, and learning how to socialise and build genuine friendships.
Perhaps most damaging of all, it encourages constant comparison. Children are measuring themselves against carefully curated versions of other people’s lives every hour of every day. It creates feelings of inadequacy and anxiety on a scale that older generations simply never experienced.
There will be much outrage about this, but this policy is truly about protecting children, and anyone who cares about the future of society should support it.
"What have the Muslims ever given us?"
Well, apart from algebra, hospitals, universities, paper manufacturing, modern optics, surgical instruments, astronomical tables, navigational advances, Arabic numerals, public libraries, pharmacology, coffee, family morality, prophetic theology, and of course the preservation and development of Greek philosophy that sparked the Renaissance...
...what have the Muslims ever given us?
It’s incredible to me how people have moved on from this. It still stands as a reminder of the worst tragedy in London’s modern history and it feels like it has been totally swept under the rug
I don’t want to hear any bullshit about “legitimate concerns” and “working class revolt”
It’s working-class Black and brown people being pushed out of their homes. This is racist violence and intimidation. Don’t dress it up as anything else.
Unless the world takes action, Israel will eradicate the Palestinian people. That is their ultimate plan. Many people, especially your government officials, who support and fund Israel and its crimes look on without issue. Some even cheer on these atrocities. They have no problem smelling our blood and burnt flesh. They have no issue watching our children’s brains spill from their heads, or fetuses struck by shrapnel and killed alongside their mothers.
It falls on everyone to stop this. Your tax dollars have been funding the weapons Israel uses to carry out these terrorist strikes and crimes.
What are you doing each day to change this? We aren’t asking for tanks, F-16s, or F-35s; we are just asking you to stop sending the bombs and bullets.
Demand that your media stop covering this up. Your media is complicit.
Do everything in your power to stop Israel’s actions, just as your government does everything to enable them.
I should not have to beg you. It is your responsibility!
DO SOMETHING
Can you imagine how explosively the right would shit themselves if a group of Muslims were driving around London impersonating police officers and intimidating non-Muslims under the justification of countering Islamophobia? The shrieking about "Sharia law" would shatter glass.
This isn’t an enemy power doing this. It’s from a power treated by western governments as being within the same sphere of influence, the same milieu, an ally, one of us.
And the Islamophobia whipped up by politicians and media outlets leads to hate crimes:
Like the rape of a Sikh woman wrongly believed to be a Muslim.
Again: those calling for "pure, cold rage" in response to such horrors would be denounced for incitement.
Black people are seven times more likely to die after police restraint.
If I demanded "pure, cold rage" in response to any of those killings, right-wingers would demand my arrest for incitement.
A white man raped a Sikh woman, thinking she was Muslim.
A white man murdered a Saudi student.
Imagine I used my platform to urge the public "respond with pure, cold rage."
Every single right-winger would accuse me of incitement and demand that I was arrested.
