SS: In connection to Netanyahu’s visit to Budapest, Orban has announced that Hungary will withdraw from the International Criminal Court. With the ICC having previously issued a controversial arrest warrant against Netanyahu for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Israeli armed forces in Gaza, Hungary would have been required to detain him had it remained a member of the treaty. Considering the speculation about how this situation would be handled when the warrant was initially issued, it will be interesting to see how other countries and non-state actors react to this development.
Black mark on Hungary’s reputation, the heroes of 1956 turning in their graves…
Also helps Russia. I assume they talked a lot about Russia because Israel does little business with Hungary compared to Russia. Orban will probably go see his master in Moscow and pass on messages Netanyahu has for him.
