Karim Ahmad Khan, the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), has come under fire for actions that appear to align with the narratives and agendas of terrorist organizations like Hamas. His selective focus on accusing democracies such as Israel of “war crimes,” while ignoring blatant atrocities committed by groups like Hamas, paints a picture of a leader whose priorities embolden terror rather than justice.

Despite clear evidence of Hamas’s heinous acts—including the October 7, 2023, massacre where over 1,100 Israeli civilians were slaughtered—Khan has disproportionately targeted Israel’s efforts to defend itself. By relying on casualty figures provided by Hamas-controlled entities and framing legitimate self-defense measures as violations of international law, Khan has lent credibility to terrorist propaganda.

Furthermore, his track record includes defending controversial figures accused of mass violence and overlooking crises that have claimed millions of lives in regions like Congo, Syria, and Yemen. Under his leadership, the ICC risks becoming a tool for delegitimizing democracies while offering implicit support to those who perpetuate terrorism and war crimes.

Karim Ahmad Khan’s actions send a dangerous message: defending against terrorism is punishable, and terror organizations can exploit international institutions for their benefit. This not only undermines global justice but empowers groups like Hamas to continue their campaigns of violence with impunity.
