Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban announced that he will not enforce the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is scheduled to visit Hungary. The trip, aimed at rallying international support for Trump's plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza, represents Hungary's defiance against EU obligations regarding ICC compliance. Despite no official statement from Budapest on Trump's controversial proposal, Orban's dismissal of the warrant showcases a growing tension between nationalist policies and international law. This visit marks Netanyahu's second foreign trip since the warrant was issued, emphasizing Israel's rejection of the ICC's charges as unfounded.
While Orban, often at odds with the EU, will not enforce the ICC's arrest warrant, Netanyahu's visit reflects a push for support for Trump's controversial Gaza plan.
Despite its obligations as an EU member, Hungary has taken a stance against enforcement of ICC rulings, highlighting the friction between national policies and international law.
