I honestly don't really have a whole lot to add here except that the idea Netanyahu might skate for genocide and crimes against humanity because he killed all three Hamas guys the ICC wanted to charge for balance is a level of morally relativistic repugnance even someone as grimly cynical as myself would have a hard time predicting.

ICC Will Withdraw War Crimes Charges If Sinwar Confirmed Dead. Also: Netanyahu Still Alive
"In an opinion piece published earlier this week by Al Jazeera, former United Nations official Moncef Khane wrote that "the ICC's credibility is hanging by a thread."
"It took Khan no less than seven months to recommend to the court's pre-trial chamber the issuance of warrants of arrest for Netanyahu and Gallant, notwithstanding a rather formidable amount of evidence of their personal responsibility in the war crimes perpetrated in Gaza," he noted.
"Now that he has done his duty, it is for the three sitting judges of the pre-trial chamber to decide whether to issue the warrants or not," Khane added. "The glaring and extraordinary amount of evidence of war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and crime of aggression is such that were they to abscond from their responsibility, they would ring the death knell of the ICC."
In a word? Yep. Like you gotta be fucking kidding me right? I have no idea how this story ends, but if this bullshit walks the ICC is finished and might as well disband. It's not like they're materially effective anyway, but if even symbolic justice is a bridge too far because we don't want to appear to be singling out Israel, even when the nation is lead by a genocidal crook fascist ordering murders every day, then the organization serves no purpose whatsoever.
