Hungary Withdraws from ICC as Orbán Hosts Netanyahu, Wanted on War Crimes Warrant

HeadlineApr 03, 2025

Hungary announced it is withdrawing from the International Criminal Court, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in Budapest today for a four-day state visit. The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu in November over war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Human Rights Watch said Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s welcoming of Netanyahu despite the ICC warrant is just “Orbán’s latest assault on the rule of law, adding to the country’s dismal record on rights.”
