Her departure was announced by today, on the first day of his visit to his prime minister, against whom the ICT has issued a warrant.
A senior ORban government official, Gergeli Gioulias, announced the move on Thursday morning.
The country’s right -wing Prime Minister Victor Orban invited his Israeli counterpart to visit the Hungarian capital in November a day after the arrest warrant against him as a suspect for war crimes in the Gaza Strip of Gaza
Israel rejected the accusations as “politically motivated” and fueled by “anti -Semitism”.
As a founding member of the International Criminal Court, Hungary would have to arrest Netanyahu with his entry into Hungarian territory and deliver it. However, Budapest had made it clear that he was not going to respect the court’s ruling as “shameless, cynical and completely unacceptable”.
Hungary signed the founding of the International Criminal Court in 1999, ratified it in 2001, but its involvement in the ICT has never become a law of the state.
Orban had preceded the country’s exit from the ICC, when Donald Trump imposed sanctions on Karim Khan’s Attorney General in February. At that time, the Hungarian prime minister had stated that “it was time for Hungary to re -examine what he is doing to an international organization that is under US sanctions.”
US, Russia, China and Israel do not recognize the jurisdiction of such court.
