Hungary defies ICC warrant, invites Netanyahu to visit despite international criticism and concern

ai generated text

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has invited Netanyahu to visit Hungary, despite the warrants, calling the ICC's move "brazen, cynical, and completely unacceptable". The move highlights a major diplomatic and political challenge posed by the ICC decision, with implications for international cooperation and the rule of law.

    1. Today I will invite Israel's prime minister, Mr Netanyahu, for a visit to Hungary and in that invite I will guarantee him that if he comes, the ICC ruling will have no effect in Hungary, and we will not follow its contents.

    Benjamin Netanyahu
    Israeli Government
    1. Faced with the shameful weakness of those who stood by the outrageous decision against the right of the state of Israel to defend itself, Hungary [is] standing by the side of justice and truth.

    1. By joining the court, we must apply its judgments, it is part of the treaty.
    2. Every state that joins would be obliged – the only way to not apply it would be to withdraw from the treaty.

    1. For us Europeans, this warrant exposes a real dilemma between international law, which is our law, and our foreign policy, especially for those member states that are unconditionally backing Israel.
