Much to say about this, perhaps better to do that once the @IntlCrimCourt Pre Trial Chamber decides. But I will say that Netanyahu and Gallant intend to politically exploit this to their advantage, employing a 'Scarlet Letter' strategy.

Procedurally, the Prosecutor @KarimKhanQC
having evaluated the information made available to him, initiated an investigation and found a reasonable basis to believe that a crime within the jurisdiction of the Court has been or is being committed.

The @IntlCrimCourt Pre-Trial Chamber would now have to examine the application and the evidence submitted by the Prosecutor and determine the following:
1) There are reasonable grounds to believe that the person has committed a crime within the jurisdiction of the Court; and the arrest of the person appears necessary (e.g., to ensure the person’s appearance at trial; to ensure that the person does not obstruct or endanger the investigation or the court proceedings; or to prevent the person from continuing with the commission of that crime).
2) The application of the Prosecutor would have to contain specific reference to the crimes within the jurisdiction of the Court which the person is alleged to have committed; A concise statement of the facts that are alleged to constitute those crimes; A summary of the evidence and any other information which establish reasonable grounds to believe that the person committed those crimes; and the reason why the Prosecutor believes that the arrest of the person is necessary.
