Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has openly criticized the International Criminal Court's decision to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Orbán denounced the warrant as an interference in an ongoing conflict for political purposes, stating that it undermines international law and escalates tensions.
The arrest warrant, issued by the ICC based in The Hague, also targeted Netanyahu's former defense minister and Hamas' military chief in connection with alleged crimes against humanity during the 13-month war in Gaza. The charges include accusations of using starvation as a method of warfare and intentionally targeting civilians, which Israeli officials deny.
