> How far will the US and/or Israel go to threaten or discredit the ICC leadership? Will Egypt or other neighbours respond? What is the reaction in China? Will Europe and the Netherlands stand by the ICC unconditionally?

ICC warrant will likely just be ignored.

Sure. But Netanyahu will have to choose sparingly out of state visits lest he finds himself arrested in a foreign country and shipped to the Hague.

He would definitely would - though I’d imagine that most his travel would be done on a diplomatic basis - so it’s possible the Vienna conventions might apply and preclude detention. (not really sure, I’m not a lawyer).

I am not an expert, but I am under impression that he will be jailed in Israel too once/if loses power.

Why? Israel isn’t an ICC signatory nation.

I think that was meant as a reference to Netanyahu's non-ICC Israeli domestic legal problems. AIUI if he weren't PM he'd be in jail already.
