Orban pledges to ignore ICC arrest warrant for Netanyahu and plans Hungary visit
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has announced he will ignore the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Orban plans to invite Netanyahu to Hungary, calling the warrant politically motivated and an interference in the conflict. The ICC issued the warrant for Netanyahu and others, accusing them of crimes against humanity related to the Gaza war. Orban criticized the warrant as "outrageously impudent" and pledged to disregard it if Netanyahu accepts the invitation. While Israel and the U.S. are not ICC members, some European allies face pressure regarding the warrant. The situation has raised concerns, with the U.S. expressing discontent over the ICC's actions.
