ICC opens inquiry into Hungary for failing to arrest Netanyahu

The International Criminal Court has requested an explanation from Hungary for not arresting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his visit, despite an active arrest warrant issued against him.
Hungary's government announced plans to withdraw from the ICC and renounce the Rome Treaty during Netanyahu's visit from April 3 to April 6.
French authorities claimed Netanyahu has immunity from ICC actions as Israel has not ratified the court's statutes, while Italy stated that arresting him would not be feasible while he is in office.
Several European leaders stated that arresting Netanyahu would be impossible while he serves as Prime Minister due to various interpretations of immunity and legal obligations.
