Hungary announced its intention to exit the International Criminal Court (ICC) shortly after hosting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who arrived in Budapest despite facing an international arrest warrant. Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government indicated it would disregard ICC obligations, welcoming Netanyahu in a ceremonial manner. The ICC issued warrants against Netanyahu and his former defense minister, accusing them of war crimes related to actions in the Gaza Strip. The situation raises significant questions about Hungary's legal commitments and international law adherence as it attempts to support Netanyahu.
Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban publicly stated his intention to withdraw from the ICC on the same day Netanyahu visited, disregarding international obligations.
The Hungarian government rolled out the red carpet for Netanyahu, ignoring his standing arrest warrant issued by the ICC for alleged war crimes.
