Orban defies ICC, invites Netanyahu to Hungary: I will not execute the order
Viktor Orban and Benjamin Netanyahu

This time, too, Viktor Orban goes against the EU. A position clearly different from that expressed by the union regarding Benjamin Netanyahu and the arrest warrant issued against him by the International Criminal Court has been expressed by the Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban.

As he himself said, he will not only invite the Prime Minister of Israel to Hungary, but he will ensure that the arrest warrant is not executed.

" There is no other choice but to challenge this decision. So, I will invite the prime minister of Israel and I will guarantee him if he comes that the order of the International Criminal Court has no influence on Hungary and we will not implement it. We will only consider Hungarian-Israeli relations, so that the Prime Minister of Israel will be able to hold effective security talks if he accepts our invitation ."

Since Orban took power in 2010, he and Netanyahu have forged a close political relationship. Netanyahu visited Budapest in 2017.

In a reaction, US President Biden called the decision of the International Criminal Court shocking for the arrest warrant against Israeli leaders. EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell himself said that the arrest warrants were not political and that all EU member states must respect and implement the court's decision.
