What would ICC arrest warrants against Benjamin Netanyahu mean for Israel? | Inside Story
This is what people misunderstand. The question is what effect will it have regarding to how certain governments, organizations and companies deal with ICC law. It’s not a question of getting Netenyahu arrested, but adding more precedent on file to continue pushing divestment.
If the verdict is passed, it’s up to anyone who can use it to weaken the Isreali government and strengthen the Palestinian government, by adding it to the pile of legitimate reasons to cut funding.
So yeah, it’s up to government and people in general - as per usual.
