ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan now faces a formal dismissal vote by the court's 125 member states, after an internal finding that he conducted an "inappropriate relationship," Israeli media reported Wednesday. The vote is scheduled for July 24. This development follows a rapid sequence of reports today: initially, Reuters and Israeli outlets reported (Wed 15:28 Jerusalem) that the ICC executive board had recommended Khan's removal after an internal probe found evidence of a sexual relationship with a female employee who filed a complaint. Minutes later, further reporting by Asaf Rozentzweig of N12 cited an internal ICC report detailing that Khan's behavior escalated to non-consensual sexual contact in his office, home, and on work trips.
