Independent MP Jeremy Corbyn has called for the British government to investigate reports that the former UK prime minister, David Cameron, threatened the International Criminal Court (ICC) chief prosecutor Karim Khan.

Middle East Eye reported in June that on 23 April 2024, then-British foreign secretary Cameron privately threatened Khan that the UK would defund and withdraw from the ICC if it issued warrants for Israeli leaders.

Earlier this month, French newspaper Le Monde also reported that Cameron threatened the prosecutor with Britain’s withdrawal from the ICC.
