The International Criminal Court (ICC) is investigating Hungary for failing to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, wanted for war crimes related to the Gaza conflict. Despite Hungary's announcement to withdraw from the Rome Statute, its obligations persist for another year. Several European Union countries, including France and Germany, may similarly refuse to comply with arrest warrants. The ICC has issued warrants for Netanyahu and his Defense Minister, citing crimes against humanity and severe acts of starvation inflicted upon Gaza's civilian population during the conflict.
The ICC is now formally investigating Hungary's refusal to arrest Netanyahu, reinforcing its obligations under the Rome Statute despite Hungary's announced withdrawal.
Hungary’s withdrawal from the Rome Statute does not take effect for one year, meaning it remains under obligation to arrest ICC suspects like Netanyahu.
