US and Israel will now be working overtime to pressure other ICC signatory nations to take down Khan at the "Assembly of States Parties"

ICC

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 politically-driven stitch-up:

The rest of the world should impose sanctions against the 21 criminal states. Just as the ANC encouraged sanctions against their own country (apartheid South Africa) we should encourage sanctions against our own imperialist or client countries.

The US, Israel and their allies will now be working overtime to pressure other ICC signatory nations to try to secure the votes required to take down Khan at the coming “special session of the Assembly of States Parties”.
