According to internal sources and call transcripts reviewed by Middle East Eye, Cameron claimed that prosecuting Russia for Ukraine crimes was different from targeting \u201ca democratic ally like Israel defending itself after October 7.\u201d He warned such a move would have &#8220;profound consequences&#8221; for the UK and the Conservative Party.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-center\">Cameron also warned that if arrest warrants were issued, Britain would legally be required to detain Netanyahu if he entered the country, something he implied was politically unacceptable. He accused Khan of equating Israel with Hamas and questioned why the court hadn&#8217;t issued warrants for Iran.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17518\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17518\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17518 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/3666-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Karim Khan takes administrative leave from the International Criminal Court during a UN-led investigation\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/3666-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/3666-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/3666-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/3666-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/3666.jpg 1155w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17518\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan steps down temporarily<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-center\">Khan reportedly responded that Israel had refused to provide any substantive evidence during years of ICC engagement, and emphasized that his office was investigating both sides.

When Khan pointed out the investigation included Hamas crimes, Cameron dismissed it as \u201cfalse equivalence.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-center\">Despite pressure, Khan did not back down, stating:\u201cThere\u2019s a real risk people will think the rules-based order is not applied equally.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-center\">The UK Foreign Office did not comment, and Khan declined to speak on the record.
