This opens Israel up to endless prosecutions before the ICC, and gives a terror state the imprimatur of legitimacy.  Which was a predictable move in  the trajectory of transnational progressivism, the disease that will in the end kill off any free country, delegitimize national sovereignty, and create an untouchable permanent bureaucratic ruling class, a crony class, and the “masses” to be administered to in ways the betters see fit.
