On May 20, 2024, after seven months of Israel's genocidal war on Palestinians, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, finally announced that he would seek arrest warrants for Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and its Defence Minister, Yoav Gallant.

Following Khan's announcement, Dimitri Lascaris spoke with author and political commentator Yves Engler about the extremely limited scope of the charges Khan has brought against Israel's leaders.

According to Lascaris, Khan is attempting to do the bare minimum to satisfy growing demands for justice, and Khan cannot be counted upon to prosecute Netanyahu and Gallant vigorously. Far from proving his independence, Khan's latest move simply confirms that he's a tool of Western imperialism.
