An I.C.C. arrest warrant for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the war in Gaza spurred outrage across Israel’s political spectrum. But in the long term, it’s not a good look for a prime minister.

The world's top war-crimes court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defence minister and Hamas's military chief.The warrants accuse them of crimes against humanity in connection with the 13-month war in Gaza.
