Looks like Netanyahu’s campaign to render the word “antisemetic” as completely meaningless continues.
A well deserved for both, unfortunately the ICC does not have jurisdiction over Israel (nor the US).
They have jurisdiction over Palestine, that’s why they issued the arrests at all.
The point is diplomatic, politicians and other influential people in countries all over the world will find it easier to argue against Israeli interests. This is actually a major blow to Israeli diplomacy.
Better late than never, for all the good it will do…
How’s that working out?
Well, this happened for example.

This is a diplomatic blow to Israel, and if it ever becomes as isolated as Russia is from Western commerce, it will cease to exist.
Id be very surprised if a warrant like this has ever been followed through on.
