Hungary Withdraws from ICC Amid Netanyahu’s Visit to Meet Orban
Hungary has officially withdrawn from the International Criminal Court (ICC) following a controversial visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Budapest to meet with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. The visit, which took place over the weekend, has stirred international controversy due to an existing ICC arrest warrant against Netanyahu.
The decision to pull out of the ICC was influenced by the court's actions against Netanyahu, which Hungary views as politically motivated. This move has sparked a debate on the ICC's jurisdiction and the implications for international law. Critics argue that Hungary's withdrawal undermines the global effort to hold leaders accountable for war crimes and other serious offenses.
During his visit, Netanyahu and Orban discussed various bilateral issues, but the underlying tension due to the ICC warrant was palpable. The meeting has been described as a 'sordid scandal' by some observers, highlighting the complex interplay of international politics and legal accountability.
