In a bold defiance of international law, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced he would invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Hungary, disregarding the International Criminal Court's (ICC) arrest warrant against him for alleged war crimes. This provocative stance has drawn stark contrasts between Hungary's position and that of other European nations, including Ireland and Spain, which have pledged to uphold the ICC's decision. The response to the warrants, seen as unprecedented for a leader of a democratic state, underscores deepening divisions within the EU regarding international law and foreign policy with respect to Israel and Palestine.
