There are so many cynical responses to this. For the sake of efficiency, consider them all said.
[IsraelTimes] The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court vows to step up efforts to investigate alleged war crimes, as he wraps up a visit to Israel and the West Bank.

Karim Khan stresses his visit is "not investigative in nature," but says he was able to speak to victims on both sides of the conflict. "My office will further intensify its efforts to advance its investigations in relation to this situation."
