Hungary's nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban hosts Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Budapest this week, despite Netanyahu being wanted under an International Criminal Court arrest warrant. Hungary has strengthened its ties with Israel since the start of the war in Gaza, and Orban has been a vocal supporter of Israel's 'war of self-defence.' The two leaders share a close personal friendship and a common ally in US President Donald Trump. Orban's government has been accused of democratic backsliding and fanning anti-Jewish sentiment, but he dismisses the criticism and emphasizes Hungary's zero tolerance for anti-Semitism.
