The Jerusalem District Court has ordered Karim Khan, the former prosecutor for the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, to pay 25 million shekels (approximately $6.7 million USD) in damages to Eitan Mor and the families of Avinatan Or and Omri Miran. The ruling was issued because Khan failed to file a defense in the lawsuit brought against him. The families' lawsuit, initially filed in August 2025, alleged that Khan's conduct in his role at the ICC contributed to Hamas continuing to hold hostages. The court's decision was made by default, without a full examination of the claims in a trial. It remains unclear how the sum will be collected, but the organization "Shurat Hadin" has pledged to pursue collection efforts through enforcement systems in England.
