Who's afraid of the ICC?

The International Criminal Court is considering whether to issue an arrest warrant against Benjamin Netanyahu - the first time in history such a move has been made against a pro-Western leader.

It's also unclear what impact, if any, this development will have on the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
