(AP/Peter Dejong) The International Criminal Court released a fact sheet Monday on the recent decision that it has jurisdiction to investigate Israel and the Palestinians for alleged war crimes, rejecting the claim by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the decision proved that the court was politicly motivated. Earlier this month, a pre-trial chamber of the ICC determined that The Hague has jurisdiction to open a criminal investigation into Israel and the Palestinians for war crimes alleged to have taken place in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem. It now falls to the ICC’s chief prosecutor, Fatouh Bensouda, to decide whether to launch an investigation, and she indicated in 2019 that she intends to do so.

He takes over in June from the controversial Fatouh Bensouda. It will be up to him to decide whether to go ahead with her decision to prosecute Israel for war crimes against the Palestinians. Israel appears to have preferred Khan to some of the other candidates and certainly, the incumbent.
