Hungary's Magyar invites Netanyahu despite ICC warrant

Hungarian Prime Minister-elect Péter Magyar has invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to visit Hungary, despite Hungary's obligations as an International Criminal Court member state to arrest Netanyahu if he enters the country. The invitation signals Magyar's intention not to enforce the ICC warrant against Netanyahu, which accuses the Israeli leader of war crimes. This follows a recent warm introductory phone call between the two leaders where they discussed bilateral relations. The move aligns with Hungary's traditionally pro-Israel foreign policy stance under previous governments.
