International Criminal Court (ICC) chief prosecutor Karim Khan has said that Israel threatened his wife and children if he persisted in pursuing warrants for its genocidal leaders. Speaking to AlArabiya English, Khan also said that a 5,000-page report by the UN’s Office of Internal Oversight Services had cleared him of all wrongdoing. Moreover, the ICC’s ‘Bureau’ – the ICC’s main oversight body – appointed three judges to digest the report. The judges confirmed on 21 March 2026 that there was not a single piece of evidence suggesting any misconduct by Khan. Despite the comprehensive findings, Khan has again been suspended by…

Polanski: ‘No impunity for hosts of deplorable Great Israeli Real Estate event’ In a letter to Khan, Polanski insisted that there had already been “substantial evidence ahead of the event” suggesting wrongdoing, and that authorities should have never allowed it to take place. But following the event, he stressed: It has…

Polanski said: It is morally incomprehensible and unconscionable that this event is scheduled to take place in our city…

US vassals have banded together in a vote of the International Criminal Court’s 21-state ‘Bureau’ to suspend ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan. Khan has been driving the ICC’s issuance of arrest warrants for Israeli war criminals, including Benjamin Netanyahu and former ‘defence’ minister Yoav Gallant. ICC — Shameless political stitch-up Israel and the US have previously circulated allegations against Khan – a standard Israel lobby tactic – of improper behaviour. Now Khan has been suspended by the Bureau on a supposed ‘no indication of guilt’ basis. But as former UK ambassador Craig Murray points out, the move is a shameless and…

The talks sparked fears within both the public and the force itself over allowing the US company access to sensitive data. However, on 21 May, Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) exercised its power to block…

The Guardian reported: After the UK’s largest police force had agreed to use Palantir’s AI technology to automate intelligence analysis in criminal investigations, Khan intervened, citing “serious concerns” about how the deal had been struck. The mayor’s office said there had been a “clear and serious breach” of procurement rules and said police had only seriously…
