Hungary's Orban breaks with neighbors to dismiss ICC's arrest warrant for Netanyahu
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said he would invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to visit his country despite the ICC's arrest warrant.
Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban said Friday he would invite Benjamin Netanyahu to visit his country and that he would guarantee that an International Criminal Court arrest warrant against the Israeli prime minister would "not be observed."
Orban's remarks stand in contrast to a long list of European leaders who promised to respect the court's decision.
Ireland's prime minister Simon Harris said Friday that his country would be prepared to arrest the Israeli prime minister if he came to the country.
The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.Getty Images“We support international courts and we apply their warrants,” Harris told national broadcaster RTE when asked if Netanyahu would be arrested if he arrived in Ireland for whatever reason.
In doing so, Harris followed several other European countries who have said they would respect the court's accusations.
