KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today received a courtesy call from International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor Karim Khan.

Anwar emphasised Malaysia’s call for Israel to be held accountable for possible war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip, and abuses against Palestinians, including children.
