After Sinwar, the ICC Stands Exposed – WSJ

By Thomas A. Smith

Hardest hit by Sinwar s death, however, should be Karim Ahmad Khan, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. Recall that Mr. Khan had claimed to be evenhanded by seeking arrest warrants for a trio of Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, Ismail Haniyeh and Mohammed Deif alongside Israel s Prime Minister and Defense Minister.

The moral equivalence was offensive, but now that all three Hamas chiefs have been killed, Israel has stripped Mr. Khan of his fig leaf. He is prosecuting Israelis alone for their defensive war to free hostages and defeat the death squads who want to repeat their Oct. 7 attack.
