Netanyahu to visit Hungary on Tuesday despite ICC arrest warrant
ai generated text
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to visit Hungary on April 2, where he will hold talks with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. This visit comes despite the International Criminal Court (ICC) issuing an arrest warrant for Netanyahu over alleged war crimes in Gaza.
The visit demonstrates his network, influence, and political freedom.
I very seriously doubt that any law enforcement units in Hungary would follow any court action, and not the orders by the government.
Hungary is not a democratic country, and we know that the rule of law is largely captured.
Orban is offering a platform to his long-standing illiberal ideological ally, very much in line with the new policy direction from Washington.
He can demonstrate that the arrest is not as significant as many members of his domestic opposition claim.
He's trying to visit as many countries as possible to show that the ICC is a paper tiger and cannot enforce the arrest warrant against him.
The ICC is famously described as a giant without arms and legs — it cannot really enforce those arrest warrants. It's up to the political will of states.
