❗️Hungary’s Prime Minister-elect says ICC warrants, including Netanyahu war crimes case, would be enforced under new government position
Hungary’s Prime minister-elect Peter Magyar said the country would enforce International Criminal Court arrest warrants, including those issued for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, marking a reversal from the previous government’s stance under Viktor Orbán, who had announced plans to withdraw from the court.
According to L’Orient-Le Jour, Magyar stated that if Hungary remains a member of the ICC, individuals subject to its warrants entering the country would be taken into custody. His comments came after he extended invitations to world leaders for Hungary’s commemoration of the 1956 anti-Soviet counterrevolution, while also indicating that he had communicated his position directly to Netanyahu regarding Hungary’s intended return to full ICC compliance.
The announcement signals a potential shift in Hungary’s legal alignment on international judicial enforcement, particularly in relation to high-profile cases emerging from the court’s recent warrants.
