BUDAPEST, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Friday he would invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to visit Hungary, saying he would guarantee that an International Criminal Court arrest warrant against Netanyahu would "not be observed"
.
The ICC issued arrest warrants on Thursday for Netanyahu and his former defence chief, as well as a Hamas leader, Ibrahim Al-Masri, for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza conflict.
Orban, whose country holds the European Union's rotating six-month presidency, told state radio that the ICC's arrest warrant was "wrong" and said the Israeli leader would be able to conduct negotiations in Hungary "in adequate safety".

"Today I will invite Israel's prime minister, Mr. Netanyahu, for a visit to Hungary and in that invite I will guarantee him that if he comes, the ICC ruling will have no effect in Hungary, and we will not follow its contents," Orban said.

Since Orban and his nationalist Fidesz party swept to power in 2010, he and Netanyahu have forged close political relations. Netanyahu visited Budapest in 2017.
Israeli leaders and the White House have strongly condemned the ICC decision, while EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said the warrants were not political and that all EU member states should respect and implement the court decision.

Within the EU, Hungary and the Czech Republic have been strong backers of Israel, while countries such as Spain and Ireland stress their support for the Palestinians.

The Czech Foreign Ministry, responding to the ICC decision, said Prague would respect its international legal obligations.
However, Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala called the ICC decision "unfortunate", saying on X late on Thursday: "(The move) undermines its authority in other cases when it equates the elected representatives of a democratic state with the leaders of an Islamist terrorist organization."

God1000:
Netanyahu remains a war criminal, he and his enablers will be brought to book, no matter how long it takes.

This is why I don't take the likes of Victor Orban seriously, this is someone opposing western intervention in Ukraine and at the same time embracing Netanyahu

Botragelad:
Mess around and find our.

God1000:
you are shameless, I hope you know that Victor Orban is an ally of Vladimir Putin, the man you hate so much

Botragelad:
Countries worldwide are criticising the ICC under Karim Khan's leadership for issuing arrest warrants to Netanyahu and other Israeli officials.

If this matter isn't handled carefully, it could spell the end for the ICC. Israel won't be intimidated into abandoning its right to self-defence. It's straightforward: any nation that interferes will face severe consequences.
