US EditionHungary must arrest Netanyahu if he visits, Magyar says
Magyar says his government will keep Hungary in the International Criminal Court and detain anyone under warrant, reversing Orbán’s stance.
- On Monday, Hungarian Prime Minister-elect Peter Magyar announced his government will honor International Criminal Court warrants, including those for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, should he enter Hungary.
- Outgoing leader Viktor Orban announced last year that Hungary was withdrawing from the ICC, but Magyar intends to halt that process before the June 2 deadline.
- Emphasizing legal requirements, Magyar stated, "If someone is a member of the International Criminal Court and a person who is wanted enters our country, then they must be taken into custody."
- Despite an invitation to Budapest for the 70th anniversary of the 1956 uprising, Netanyahu's travel to Hungary now appears unlikely given the arrest warrant risk.
- Ending the country's veto of a 90-billion-euro loan for Ukraine, Magyar also moved to reorient Hungary away from Orban's policies toward Europe.
