Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel has arrived in Hungary, a country that has recognized the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and issued an arrest warrant against him. However, the Hungarian government has made it clear that it will ignore its obligations to the ICC. Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban has invited Netanyahu, despite Hungary's embrace of antisemitic tropes in its propaganda. The visit provides Netanyahu with an opportunity to project strength abroad and statesmanship at home, as he faces growing opposition to his leadership. The visit has been condemned by Amnesty International as an effort to undermine the ICC and shows contempt for international law.
