Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Hungary signals diplomatic defiance as he travels despite an ICC arrest warrant. With Hungary rejecting the court’s ruling, the trip highlights shifting alliances while Israel presses ahead with its military operations in Gaza amid growing international pressure.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu begins a four-day visit to Hungary on Thursday, despite an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant over alleged war crimes in Gaza. Hungary, an ICC member, has stated it will not enforce the warrant.
Netanyahu will meet Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and hold a press conference. His visit follows growing political pressure at home over an investigation into alleged ties between Qatar and his aides, which he has dismissed as "fake news".
This marks his second trip abroad since the ICC issued warrants for him and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant. His itinerary includes a visit to a Holocaust memorial.
Orban, a strong supporter of Israel, has condemned the ICC's ruling as "unacceptable". The ICC maintains that member states must uphold its decisions.
