International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan has landed in Israel for a surprise, non-official visit to meet with the families of victims of Hamas’s October 7 invasion of the South.
The visit will not include Gaza, which the prosecutor had demanded, and even had made a public display of visiting the Egyptian/Gaza border on October 29 to try to pressure Israel to allow him in and to speed up the pace of allowing in humanitarian aid.
No announcement ahead of visit
No announcement was made either by the ICC or any government body in advance of the visit and no itinerary has been publicly shared, though discussions about a visit of some kind go back a long time.
Leading into this surprise visit, the prosecutor had recently met with some of the Israeli families who flew to see him in The Hague.
