In 2019, when Hamas was sending "arson balloons" from Gaza into Israel, residents of an Israeli community called the police when they saw this balloon descending. But there was no bomb attached to it, only a note: "We, the children of Gaza, need medical care. Lift the siege".

Nobody, absolutely nobody, could predict that the Netanyahu ICC warrant would become a leverage point in the ceasefire negotiations with Lebanon, and that it would be utilized in such a way. Just reenforces that we can never know the downstream effects of such warrants.
