ICC Prosecutor Khan Undercuts Gaza Genocide Narrative Against Israel
(Washington Times) Joan Leslie McGill - Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, was recently asked why he hadn't charged Israel with genocide. The answer: "It would be a reckless prosecutor to move simply because of clamor. You move based upon evidence." The interviewer pressed him. Hasn't there been evidence in Gaza? There is no evidence. What makes this especially significant is that Mr. Khan is no friend of Israel. He rushed to prosecute Israeli leaders after Oct. 7, 2023. Moreover, Alice Wairimu Nderitu, the Kenyan jurist who served as the UN's Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, explicitly stated that Israel's operations in Gaza did not meet the definition. In the summer of 2025, I led a congressional delegation to Israel, traveled to the Gaza border, and met the senior IDF official for humanitarian aid. He provided evidence that the Israelis allowed 600 aid trucks into the strip every day, while the Gaza population could comfortably survive on 300 trucks. The tragic truth is that any Gaza residents going hungry were doing so because their Hamas government stole their aid and profited from it. For two years influencers irresponsibly hurled "genocide" to generate viral content, and no one bothered to fact-check.
