Former United Nations representative Mohamad Safa, who resigned over an alleged planned nuclear attack on Iran, has questioned the dismissal of the International Criminal Court Prosecutor, Karim Khan.
Mr Safa, in a Facebook post on Tuesday, said he finds it suspicious that Mr Khan’s sexual misconduct allegations came after he demanded that the ICC issue a warrant for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Defence Minister, Yoav Gallant, for war crimes in Gaza.
Mr Safa, who served as the main representative of Patriotic Vision at the UN, said no evidence to back this allegation was ever presented to the public. The organisation holds special consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council.
“In 2024, ICC judges and Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan were pursuing arrest warrants against Israel’s Prime Minister for war crimes committed in Gaza.
“Suddenly, nearly a month after knowing about the arrest warrants, a woman only identified as “Sarah” accused Prosecutor Karim Khan of sexually assaulting her, with no reports or evidence shared publicly!
