Orbán says he will invite Netanyahu to Hungary
Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán has no intention of adhering to the agreements of the International Criminal Court (ICC). On state radio this morning, he announced that he will invite Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to visit Hungary and that his counterpart will have nothing to fear.

"In the invitation, I will make it clear that the ICC order will have no effect in Hungary and that we will not comply with it," Orbán said. Hungary is a signatory to the Rome Statute that established the ICC and is therefore obliged to arrest Netanyahu if he is on Hungarian soil. But Orbán calls the arrest warrants against the Israeli prime minister and former defense minister Gallant wrong and refuses to cooperate.

If a country that has recognized the ICC does not cooperate in the execution of, for example, arrest warrants, the court can submit its findings to the annual meeting of participating countries. That meeting will discuss possible measures. This year's meeting will be in The Hague in a week and a half .

Orbán has had a good relationship with his Israeli counterpart for years. The last time Netanyahu visited Hungary was in 2017
