| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Members of the Hungarian parliament voted for the country's withdrawal from the International Criminal Court (ICC). This was announced on April 29 by Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto. Earlier, he reported that he had submitted a bill to parliament on Hungary's withdrawal from the ICC, a vote on it could take place at the end of May, and the decision would come into force in a year. It is noted that this decision was made in connection with the official visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Budapest. "The Hungarian Parliament has just voted to withdraw from the ICC. By making this decision, we refuse to be part of a politicized institution that has lost its impartiality and authority," diplomat X wrote on social media. On April 3, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban announced that the country was leaving the ICC due to the organization's excessive politicization and loss of independence. As reported by Regnum News Agency, in November 2024, the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, stating that the reason was war crimes in the Gaza Strip. It was specified that the Israeli authorities used hunger in waging war, deliberately attacked civilians and did not allow assistance to be provided to victims.
