UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The International Criminal Court’s prosecutor is facing demands for speedy action against Israeli leaders, and a blistering Russian attack over the ICC’s arrest warrant for President Vladimir Putin stemming from Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. Karim Khan responded by telling the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday that he will not be swayed or intimidated as his team investigates possible war crimes or crimes against humanity in Gaza and the Palestinian territories as well as in Ukraine.  Libya’s U.N. ambassador told Khan that if the Libyan cases the ICC is investigating are so complex that they won’t be completed until the end of 2025, he should allocate the court’s resources and efforts to the war in Gaza.
