Former HRW chief says ICC Israel cases will proceed despite Khan row

S8

Former HRW chief says ICC Israel cases will proceed despite Khan row Kenneth Roth, the former executive director of Human Rights Watch, has said that the International Criminal Court's cases against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant should proceed despite sexual misconduct allegations against ICC prosecutor Karim Khan. Writing on X, Roth said the Israeli government had "predictably" challenged the ICC proceedings by pointing to the allegations against Khan. “The charges were the product of a team of prosecutors, not just Khan, and approved by three ICC judges in the pretrial chamber,” Roth said. “They will and should proceed, as should cases against Israeli officials regarding the war-crime settlements, the indiscriminate bombing, and the genocide, as I explain on CNN,” he added. He added that the ICC now needs "a credible prosecutor" to pursue the cases, saying that "was not Khan."

Kpler: Only six vessels cross Hormuz as traffic remains mixed

S8

Kpler: Only six vessels cross Hormuz as traffic remains mixed Maritime traffic through Hormuz remains mixed, with only six vessels crossing the waterway on Thursday, down 60 percent from the previous day, maritime traffic monitor Kpler said in its latest update. All but one used the Iranian Unilateral Scheme, Kpler added. No new confirmed attacks were reported to the International Maritime Organization (IMO), but traffic patterns continued to shift as shipping companies assessed the risks, Kpler said on X. Activity through the Bab al-Mandeb Strait increased to 49 confirmed crossings, including five sanctioned vessels and 11 ships identified as part of the shadow fleet. Four vessels also made "dark" transits with tracking systems switched off. Several ships that had earlier reversed course in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea later completed their journeys, while others remained on hold after previous U-turns.

During a meeting with Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi in Kazakhstan, Araghchi condemned the “brutal attacks” on Iran’s vital infrastructure and the “war crimes” committed by the US, the report said. Araghchi said the recent escalation was caused by Washington’s “disruption of the process of implementing Iran’s commitments in accordance with the provisions of Article 5 of the Islamabad Agreement”.

S6
