Former ICC Prosecutor Says He and His Family Faced Threats Over Israel Investigation Former International Criminal Court Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan said he and his family have faced threats and sanctions linked to the court's investigations, including its case concerning Palestine. Speaking publicly, Khan said he had been warned that opposing Israel could result in reprisals against his family, adding that he received a letter from U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Senator Mitch McConnell. Khan said that U.S. sanctions imposed over the Palestine investigation led to the freezing of his bank accounts, the disabling of his email, travel restrictions, and visa measures affecting his children. He also said members of his family had been targeted despite sanctions normally applying only to designated individuals.
