      That’s not how it works. If a warrant is issued then any country that is a signatory is obligated to arrest him if he sets foot in their territory.

        Ah gotcha so he just never leaves Israel or no one ever acts on the arrest warrant.

          The ICC issuing an arrest warrant would also erode the legitimacy of the administration internationally. A head of state that can’t visit other heads of states tends to become a lame duck, especially when they’re not an autocrat.
