Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni says the International Criminal Court (ICC) should investigate Israel for war crimes after a hospital was bombed in Gaza, killing more than 500 people and leaving hundreds injured.
But the government hasn't approached the ICC yet, Ntshaveni said at a post-Cabinet briefing on Thursday.
"Israel's bombing of the al-Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital that killed well over 500 people and injured over 1 000 is, in fact, a war crime as hospitals are considered a safe haven under international humanitarian law.
