Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in Budapest, Hungary, in defiance of the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant against him. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban extended an invitation to Netanyahu last November, a day after the ICC issued the warrant. Orban vowed that Hungary would not execute the warrant, stating that the court's decision 'intervenes in an ongoing conflict... for political purposes'. Netanyahu's visit to Hungary is seen as an attempt to diminish the impact of the court's decision and divert attention from tensions at home. The ICC has stressed that it is Hungary's 'legal obligation' to enforce its decisions.
