During a recent meeting in Budapest, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán discussed strengthening their defense cooperation and praised their nations' close relations. Following the ICC's arrest warrant for Netanyahu regarding allegations of crimes against humanity, Orbán announced Hungary's intent to withdraw from the court, criticizing it as politically biased. Orbán reaffirmed his support for Israel in the ongoing conflict with Hamas and noted that Hungary has significant economic ties with Israel, including numerous Israeli companies operating in Hungary.
Orbán stated that the ICC was "no longer an impartial court, not a court of law, but a political court." This reflects Hungary's stance on international legal institutions.
Netanyahu expressed gratitude towards Orbán for his support, emphasizing that Hungary has upheld its commitment to Israel amid challenges from international law.
