Why?
Hamas is illegal, and members are already subject to arrest and/or summary execution without trial.
Here we're getting an attempt to issue warrants to arrest (not execute) the perpetrators of an ongoing intentional genocide of the indigenous inhabitants of an occupied country that have been held in ghettos, with limited access to food and medical care for decades.
If what Israel is doing is legal, then they can be arrested, go to trial, and be let go, presumably in doing so the ICC will be required to overturn the prosecution of the many nazis that were prosecuted post-ww2 as well, because they were convicted of doing exactly what the Israeli government is doing as well.
Alternatively, you know that what is happening is morally repugnant and allowing it to happen again is a catastrophic failing and completely undermines any "never again" rhetoric that followed the holocaust, and so they would be found guilty and you don't want them imprisoned, because you feel that Palestinians desire to have had their homeland invaded, stolen, and then be exterminated as a solution to Israel's problems.
