Blinken criticized ICC prosecutor Karim Khan for rushing to apply for an arrest warrant against Netanyahu, thereby preventing, he said, the Israeli legal system from investigating independently.
But these allegations have been dismissed by the International Criminal Court, which said it had received no information that showed real action at the domestic level to address the alleged crimes in Gaza.
" Despite significant efforts, (the prosecutor's office) has not received any information that has shown any real action at the domestic level to address the alleged crimes or the individuals under investigation. The prosecutor also repeatedly underlined his concerns regarding Israel's adherence to international humanitarian law and has publicly stated that he has not seen any noticeable change in behavior despite his previous statements ," the ICC said.
ICC prosecutor Karim Khan has rejected accusations by Israel and some of its allies that question its independence.
Speaking to CNN's Christian Amanpour in an exclusive interview, Khan said claims of anti-Semitism, hatred, or favoritism are far from the truth.
" This is not a witch hunt, this is not some kind of emotional response to the noise. It is a forensic process that is expected of us as international prosecutors, as an independent court, to build solid evidence that will not be scattered in the courtroom. the court" , he said.
