Overview

• Judges ruled Israel’s filing “not an appealable issue,” dismissing the bid in a 13-page decision issued Friday.
• The court had already refused on July 16 to quash the warrants, finding no legal basis to do so during the jurisdiction review.
• A separate challenge to the ICC’s authority over the case remains under deliberation after an appeals panel ordered fuller review in April.
• Washington in June sanctioned two of the three pre-trial judges who approved the warrants requested by Prosecutor Karim Khan.
• Khan is on leave pending a sexual-misconduct investigation, and Israel continues to contest ICC authority as a nonparty to the Rome Statute.
