Netanyahu Plans Hungary Visit Amid ICC Concerns, Seeks Immunity Assurances
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accepted an invitation to visit Hungary, despite the country's incoming leadership signaling a return to the International Criminal Court (ICC). This move raises concerns about Netanyahu's potential arrest due to an outstanding international warrant. In a recent call with Hungary's prime minister-elect, Peter Magyar, Netanyahu discussed maintaining strong bilateral ties and agreed to attend a ceremony marking the 70th anniversary of the Hungarian uprising. However, Netanyahu is expected to demand guarantees of immunity from arrest before confirming his visit, as Hungary's rejoining of the ICC could pose legal risks for him.
