In a defiant-stance‚ Viktor Orbán spoke on state-radio today criticizing ICCʼs warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu; openly stating his plans to welcome Israeli PM to Budapest (which directly goes against international courts decision)
The Hungarian leader pointed out that ICC made a wrong-step by getting into an active conflict: its actions dont help but instead make things more complex. He thinks this kind of decision-making breaks down the basics of world-wide legal system — which shouldnt happen during such sensitive times
His response shows clear support for Israelʼs position; demonstrating Budapestʼs independent foreign-policy approach that often differs from main-stream European views. The ICC warrant became a hot-topic among world leaders‚ with Orbán being one of first to take such direct action against it
