Jeremy R. Hammond breaks down the meaning of Netanyahu's ICC arrest warrant.
"The question faced by both the ICJ and ICC is whether they will choose to fulfill their ostensible mandates or to demonstrate their own irrelevancy by failing to hold accountable the leaders of a country perpetrating genocide openly with the whole world looking on—a situation exists because of the complicity of the world’s superpower, the United States government."

On January 26, 2024, the ICJ ordered Israel to take preliminary measures to demonstrate its compliance with the Genocide Conventions, having determined that Israel was committing a plausible genocide in Gaza. Despite being a party to the UN Charter, which established the ICJ and obligates all member states to comply with its orders, Israel ignored the ruling and proceeded with its genocidal assault.
The credibility of the existing world order is at stake. We are supposed to believe that institutions like the United Nations, its legal organ the ICJ, and the separately established ICC exist to uphold international law, to maintain world peace, and to hold aggressors accountable for their crimes.
Is the “world order” just a sham or is it real, is it for maintaining hegemony or international law and order? We will find out as the process unwinds. Is Israel a special cas, that can ignore international conventions or not? Perhaps, for once, they will apply the law equally, as, “No one is above the law.”

I strongly doubt it will be equal application of the law, but there's a possibility that the balance of power has shifted and Israel no longer has a blank check.

I have to agree about doubting the equal application of the law. I think the Israelis expect to be handed a blank check for doing what ever they do ‘cauz reasons. They are still running strong on the “holocaust” meme.
