Israeli Hostage Families Sue ICC Prosecutor: Actions Back Hamas
14th August 2025
The families of three hostages have filed a NIS 20 million ($5.9 million) lawsuit against the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Karim Khan.
“The International Criminal Court has become a branch of Hamas,” stated Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, founder and president of Shuran-HaDin Israel Law Center, the NGO representing the families.
“Through its direct actions, it has given the terror murderers tremendous backing,” she continued. “Khan’s goal is to prevent Israel from achieving the war’s objectives – the destruction of Hamas and the release of the hostages – by portraying it as a criminal state.”
