US EditionICC's Karim Khan ordered not to publicize arrest warrant requests
- The International Criminal Court barred prosecutor Karim Khan from publicly announcing any new arrest warrant requests in the Palestine case as of early May 2025.
- The limitation was imposed due to concerns from ICC judges about Khan’s ongoing public comments regarding arrest warrants targeting top Israeli officials, including the sitting prime minister and the previous defense minister.
- Khan had accelerated an investigation into alleged war crimes in Gaza and the West Bank following Hamas' October 7 attack, leading to previous warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant and preparation of further requests.

- The ruling delays enforcement of further warrants and reflects internal court tensions over procedural control, while Israel and allied states reject ICC jurisdiction and refuse to comply with existing warrants.
