I never understood why the International Criminal Court (ICC) announce who they are issuing arrest warrants for because all it does is pre-warn the recipient who then stays out of the of places where they are likely to get their collar felt.
With the world suddenly getting smaller for Benjamin Netanyahu and the blow-back from his genocide backing friend in the USA, in a bit of common sense, the ICC judges have ordered that the soon to be announced new arrest warrant requests related to Israel and Palestine be kept secret by the Prosecutors.
The new order comes as they prepare a fresh round of applications for Israeli suspects in connection to war crimes and crimes against humanity in the occupied Palestinian territories along with Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defence minister Yoav Gallant. A warrant was also issued for the Hamas leader but was withdrawn after his confirmed death.
Anything that improves the chances of locating and apprehending suspects has to be welcome, if they don't know that they face arrest then they won't know not to 'accidentally' wander into a country where they will be clapped in irons and sent to the Hague to stand trial for their war crimes.

the ICC announces warrants because it has no power. it is as useless as a screendoor on a submarine. all it can do is cause reputational harm, so that is what it does.
You don't think they should go after the perpetrators of war crimes and Genocide? You rather we left them alone rather than bring them to justice?
didn't say that. will continue to say that the icc and un are useless, feckless, massive wastes of money.
