That makes him a horrible person. It doesn't make him a war criminal.

"Why is Hitler a war criminal he didn't pull any of the triggers"

He's literally the head of state of a country doing a genocide.

Hitler was put on the United Nations War Crimes Commission's first list of war criminals in December 1944, after determining that Hitler could be held criminally responsible for the acts of the Nazis in occupied countries. By March 1945, at least seven indictments had been filed against him.

Hitler was actually the one ordering it. That's Netanyahu's role in Israel. The President is more like our Governor General, or the King. A largely ceremonial role.
