Limited direct consumer impact. Potential indirect effects include: increased security costs for travel to Israel/Middle East, possible tourism disruption, and volatility in energy prices if regional tensions escalate. Consumer goods prices may face upward pressure if supply chain disruptions occur.

May influence U.S. stance on ICC cooperation.
