    I’m pretty sure the same applies for Russia and Israel, and yet the ICC is after their presidents for breaking “other laws”.

      The warrant for Putin is with respect to crimes in Ukraine. Ukraine is not a member, but gave authorization to the ICC to investigate certain crimes, and agreed to cooperate.

      The warrant for Netanyahu is via Palestine, who is a member.

      The Rome Statute makes activities in signatory nations part of their jurisdiction, which is part of the reason the law I mentioned was enacted.
