They couldn't determine if the events on Oct 7th merited a war crimes response until now?

So how many stars do I get If a write a comment that condemns Israel right now? Is the amount of anti-israel boot-licking proportional to the number of stars?
It's hard not to notice. Apologies in advance.

What actual difference would it make , and why didn't they send a file when Israel were levelling Gaza ?
Evidence takes time to collect a case must first be built and when the charge is as serious as War Crimes that case needs to hold water , you're just pissed Bibbi is being called out for what he is.
Chances are Bibi will likely be in an Israeli court to answer his corruption charges before he goes to the Hague.
You never answered my question above about Israel’s war crimes. How do you know they’ve committed war crimes and what crimes do you specifically think they’ve committed?
Wilful killing
Torture or inhuman treatment, including biological experiments;
Wilfully causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or health;
Extensive destruction and appropriation of property, not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly;

How do I know ? , simply by ticking boxes , there are others like forced displacement of a population , cutting off water and denying aid among the others.

For the purpose of this Statute, ‘war crimes’ means:
Grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, namely, any of the following acts against persons or property protected under the provisions of the relevant Geneva Convention:
Wilful killing
Torture or inhuman treatment, including biological experiments;
Wilfully causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or health;

I see you're back to your dishonest method of only posting partial definitions because the entire definition hurts the narrative you're trying to spin.
So to charge someone with a war crime based on willful killing of protected persons, you'd have to have evidence that they knowingly and deliberately bombed a protected person.
At a minimum though, can you please stop dishonestly cutting out parts of a definition that completely change the definition?

And you're back to your accusation tactics again
I'll post quotes as I please.
Netanyahu and Gallant do not face any immediate risk of prosecution. Israel is not a member of the court, but the threat of arrest could make it difficult for the Israeli leaders to travel abroad.
The ICC has issued arrest warrants for other leaders over the past roughly two decades since the court was established.
In March of last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin was accused of the abduction of children from Ukraine to Russia. He was charged along with Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova, the Russian Commissioner for Children’s Rights.
The chances of Putin facing trial at the ICC are highly unlikely because Moscow does not recognize the court’s jurisdiction or extradite its nationals. Russia responded by issuing its own arrest warrants for Khan, the court’s prosecutor, and other ICC judges.

A joke of a legal maneuver.

Biden administration open to action by Congress against ICC
Secretary of State Tony Blinken signaled the Biden administration would support bipartisan action in Congress against the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in response to its decision to seek arrest warrants against Israeli leaders.
Why it matters: Blinken's comments at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Tuesday reflected the Biden administration's anger and frustration over the prosecutor's decision.
Biden administration officials say ICC prosecutor Karim Khan reneged on his commitment to the U.S. to engage directly with the Israeli government before deciding on arrest warrants.
"The feeling in the administration is Khan lied to us," one U.S. official said, adding the administration feels deceived.

Senator Schumer Calls ICC Warrants for Israeli Leaders "Reprehensible"
Senator Schumer calls the ICC's announcement that it seeking arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders "reprehensible" and says that the court suggesting an equivalency between the two is another example of the court's bias against Israel.
