I wonder if Netanyahu's plea to President Herzog for a pardon in the current investigations is solely about the bribery and corruption charges or whether there is some clause asking for a general pardon to shield him from possible future investigations re: the Gaza Strip war.

Because if that's the case, that would make any charges by the ICC moot. (Due to the principle of subsidiarity in the Rome Statute the ICC only has jurisdiction if the judiciary of the state the suspect is citizen of is incapable or unwilling to investigate on its own.)

(I don't think that Netanyahu is guilty of any crime regarding the execution of the war in the Gaza Strip. But there is still a call for an investigation regarding the utter intelligence failing that left Israel unprepared and surprised on October 7 2023.)
