ISRAEL has made “no real effort” to investigate war crimes allegations brought by the International Criminal Court (ICC), the top court’s prosecutor Karim Khan said yesterday.

Speaking to Reuters, Mr Khan said he stood by his decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former defence chief Yoav Gallant and Hamas leader Ibrahim al-Masri.

ICC judges issued the warrants last November for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
