Exclusive: UK confirms phone call between Cameron and ICC’s Karim Khan

The UK government has confirmed a phone call took place between then Foreign Secretary David Cameron and International Criminal Court (ICC) chief prosecutor Karim Khan. This confirmation, obtained through a Freedom of Information request, addresses allegations that Cameron threatened Khan over the ICC's investigation into Israeli war crimes in Gaza. Khan had previously stated that a senior British official threatened to withdraw UK funding for the court during a call on the same date. The call occurred in April 2024, just one month before Khan sought arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then Defence Minister Yoav Gallant.
