I think people had hoped that there would be more precision. But, much of this comes down to a matter of perception. It appears to much of the world that Israel is just saying, "hey Hamas is under there, level everything." It doesn't appear Israel is "defending itself" anymore. There is a reason the rest of the world outside of the U.S., U.K., and Israel sees this conflict differently and I don't think it's anti-semitism. Haaretz reported there is legit concern about Bibi being arrested in the ICC case.

Whether or not the arrest warrants materialize, they have already had an effect. It is impossible to detach them from the postponement of any move to start the evacuation of Palestinian civilians as a prelude to the Rafah operation, and the sudden willingness of Netanyahu to accept an Egyptian proposal for a hostage agreement that will include the restoration of freedom of movement in Gaza and, more than anything else, the increasingly open actions by Israel to restore supply lines into Gaza after long months of obstruction.

Israeli officials admit that these are now directly connected to the government’s urgent efforts to fend off arrest warrants.

It’s part of a wider trend of belated realization that the costs of this war on the international front could become intolerable, whether for Israel as a country or for certain Israeli individuals. And while many, perhaps even a majority, of Israelis don’t particularly care if Netanyahu (and Mrs. Netanyahu) might have to give up his penchant for state-funded travel overseas, this isn’t just about him.
