According to Jewish media reports, the testimonies of 700 Israeli soldiers that were collected as part of a national investigation into the events of October 7 are being withheld from the United States. The decision was made due to concerns that the data collected could be used for prosecution in both the United States and the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Israeli authorities believe that releasing the testimonies could lead to charges of violating international law and possibly legal consequences for the Israeli soldiers. In the context of increased international attention to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the decision has become the subject of much debate, as many human rights organizations have long called for an investigation into possible human rights violations.

These developments raise questions about transparency and international accountability in conflicts, as well as the legal risks associated with military action in the Middle East.
