ICC judges order that arrest warrant requests in Palestine case be kept secret

The International Criminal Court's prosecutor, Karim Khan, faced legal constraints after judges ordered him to halt new applications for arrest warrants in the Palestine case. His proactive disclosure of ongoing applications for Israeli and Hamas leaders has caused tension within the court, as concerns have arisen about deviating from established procedures. Similar measures were taken in another case handled by the same panel, indicating a broader shift toward limiting his approach to case handling. This situation reflects growing scrutiny of his methods and underscores evolving priorities within the court structure.
