"Peter Magyar stated, 'If someone is a member of the ICC, and a person who is wanted enters our country, then they must be taken into custody.' This reflects Hungary's renewed commitment to its obligations under the ICC."
"Magyar's decision to arrest Netanyahu marks a significant departure from the previous administration's policies, as Netanyahu and Orbán were close allies, sharing nationalist political views."
Peter Magyar, Hungary's Prime Minister-elect, announced the country will stop its withdrawal from the International Criminal Court (ICC) initiated by his predecessor. He stated that Hungary will arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he enters the country, aligning with obligations under the ICC statute. This decision represents a major shift in Hungary's foreign policy, moving away from the previous administration's close ties with Netanyahu. Magyar's government can halt the withdrawal process before it becomes official in June, emphasizing Hungary's commitment to international law regarding war crimes.
