Prosecutors from the International Criminal Court have interviewed staff from Gaza's two biggest hospitals, two sources told Reuters, the first confirmation that ICC investigators were speaking to medics about possible crimes in the Gaza Strip.
The sources, who asked not to be identified due to the sensitivity of the subject, told Reuters ICC investigators had taken testimony from staff who had worked in the main hospital in Gaza City in the north of the enclave, Al Shifa, and the main hospital in Khan Younis in the south, Nasser.
One of the sources said that events surrounding the hospitals could become part of the investigation by the ICC, which hears criminal cases against individuals for war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and aggression.
The ICC's office of the prosecutor refused to comment on operational matters in ongoing investigations citing the need to ensure the safety of victims and witnesses.

As I've said before International law is a myth, neither Netanyahu or Putin will ever see the inside of a courtroom/jail outside their own country.
Though why nothing against the DPRK concentration camp's 🤷
@SolidQuicheForward3wks3W
So what concessions did the White House extract from Israel in exchange for this, if it proves to be true? No Rafah? No destruction of Hamas? No battle against Hezbollah?
@LibertyBenDemocrat3wks3W
Hard to say.
I don't think the US can get much from this, but they might be able to enforce a delay on Rafah and possibly use the situation as a bargaining chip to try and get a pause in hostilities.
Hezbollah is coming whether the US likes it or not.
I didn't dismiss the warrants issued for Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova, so I won't dismiss any issued in relation to the Israel-Palestine conflict. It's important that political leaders understand their actions are not without consequence. Let's see what happens.

Gotta round up Biden, Blinken, Bibi, all of their helpers. We need heads on pikes
