“Birds of a feather flock together,” Gideon Sa’ar write about Karim Khan and Syrian jihadist leader Ahmed al-Sharaa.
Karim Khan advised judges to dismiss Israel’s appeal against his war crimes probe, whose authority Jerusalem has never recognized.

“We waited for months for the majority to schedule the vote only to have them postpone it before the election,” Sen. Jim Risch wrote. “We will not fail to act when Republicans are in the majority.”
Karim Khan has asked the International Criminal Court to issue arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes in Gaza.
“Any attempt by kangaroo court prosecutor Karim Khan to threaten the U.S. or our allies should be seen as an act of aggression,” Sen. Tom Cotton.

Jerusalem is petitioning the International Criminal Court’s authority and war-crimes allegations, the Foreign Ministry revealed.
