Yes, there's an ICC warrant out by for Netanyahu and Gallant.

Basically that just means that they won't travel to or even be invited to countries that would arrest them.

The same goes for Putin.

A lot of pro-Israel people just think the ICC is just a tool used by countries that hold a grudge against Israel and don't take it seriously (e.g. the Biden administration released a statement condemning the ICC when they announced they were seeking the warrants), so having more first-hand witnesses stating clearly that war crimes are happening is relevant.

Ideally we'd have journalists reporting these things, but Israel blocks those from entering Gaza too.

So not related to 10's of thousands of civilian deaths at all?

So, collective punishment, further making the ICJ and ICC cases.

No, but deliberate exaggeration of number of civilian deaths

All indicators are that it's a dramatic undercount of both total deaths and obviously civilian deaths.

Total deaths of up to 400,000 are now being put forward with persuasive rationale. That Israel will not allow external parties in firmly places the burden to disprove on them. Propaganda whitewashing of deaths is not acceptable.

Very interesting choice of yours to omit the context, in which Hezbollah also drew his ire. Surely a coincidence and not a product of bias, though, right?

It's fine for him to talk how he wants, it's not fine for him to be the person in charge of investigating Israel if he considers it to be the enemy.

And if he considers Hezbollah the enemy, he should not be investigating them either.

Good news, he isn't; he resigned in order to take his appointment as the Lebanese PM, in which capacity he was speaking in the article you linked. Any more thinly veiled ad hominems you'd like to throw around?

The article gets some minor biographical details wrong but seems well supported otherwise, however it does describe Israeli roadblocks to the mission.

I expect the warrant against Putin will be the same ignored as a warrant against Netanyahu. Both Russia and Israel have certain bribing and soft power, but even ignored as a revenge. e.g. Polish prime minister and president jointly and proactively guaranteed Netanyahu entry to Poland even if otherwise they are from opposing parties and completely polarized the political scene. A gesture which looks outright suicidal considering the Criminal Court and local geopolitics.
