Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel on Thursday began a visit to Hungary, convinced that the European self -assessment of the Bastion “Non -Liberal Democracy” would ignore an insulted arrest warrant against him In November, the International Criminal Court.

A visit is the first Mr. Netanyahu in a country to recognize the jurisdiction of the court, raising the possibility, at least in theory, to be arrested. He visited Washington to talk about the future of gauze With President Trump in February, but the United States, such as Israel, was never recognized by the International Court.

In Hungary, Prime Minister Viktor Orban made it clear that he would neglect his obligations as a party to 1998 a contract founded by the court.

Mr. Orban called on Mr. Netanyahu to visit shortly after the court issued an arrest warrant, assuring him that “ICC judgment will not have an effect in Hungary and that we will not follow his terms.”

Hungarian expansive propaganda machine has accepted the anti -Semitic trope in its non -stop vilification of George SorosAmerican financier and philanthropist that is a Jew. He threw him as a vicious puppet in a huge global conspiracy aided by high finances and hidden, cosmopolitan forces.

But Mr. Orban, a strong supporter of Israel, accepted the right -wing premiere in the country as a related spirit in accordance with his own ethnonationalist attitudes and respect for national sovereignty without foreign interference.

The International Criminal Court issued orders for the arrest of Mr Netanyahu and his former defense minister, Yoav Gallant, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza’s belt, dealing with the shock of the global position of Israel.

For Mr. Netanyahu, a Hungarian visit gives a chance to project strength abroad and statehood at home at a time of increasing opposition to his leadership and within and outside Israel.

Traveling to Europe, Mr. Netanyahu signals to the world that it still does not affect the order for the arrest of the court, although many European governments have denied Israeli guidance of the Gaza war. Also signaled to critics in Israel, where it was neglected A growing list of domestic crisesTo retain its international stature and this job continues as usual, despite the arrest of this week of two of its assistants.

Amnesty International condemned the visit to Hungary As a “cynical effort to undergo MKS and his work,” describing him as “an insult to the victims of those crimes that the court viewed for justice.” Hungary invitation, she added, “shows contempt for international law.”

For Mr. Orban, isolated in the European Union, welcoming the Israeli Prime Minister in Prkos, the International Court offers the opportunity to put in the center of attention and attract the attention of Washington. President Trump has shown a little obvious interest in Hungary since he took over his duty in January, even though he has been a fan of Mr. Orban for a long time.

Like Mr. Netanyahua, Mr. Orban faces many domestic problems, including Hungarian The highest inflation rate in the European Union And the opposition movement in the country – led with former Orban loyalist – enjoys the support of support.

Before the election in November, Mr. Trump often praised Mr. Orban as a “great leader,” but did not invite him to inauguration. Hungary said it was because Are not called foreign leadersBut several attended, including the Italian Prime Minister, Giorgius Meloni, a rival of Mr. Orban to lead the difficult political forces of Europe.

Mr. Trump, a fierce critic of the court, in February signed an executive command that set up sanctions on an international courtpromising to impose “tangible and significant consequences” to people who work on investigations who are considered to threaten the national security of the United States and Israel.

Mr. Netanyahu denied the bribe, fraud and other charges against him in Israel as an effort of the judiciary to destroy the will of the voter. Similarly, Mr. Orban has often condemned what European courts consider to be judicial competent courts who have ruled against Hungary for breach of the European Union rules.

“We have always rebelled against judicial activism,” Mr. Orban said at the federal summit of European leaders in Budapest, the capital of Hungary.

In 2001, Hungary ratified a contract establishing the International Criminal Court during Mr. Orban’s first stay as a prime minister, but his parliament never incorporated his terms in the domestic legal code in the country.

The head of Mr. Orban, Gergely Gulyas, said last month that this omission had liberated Hungary from any obligation to act on the judgment of the court. He stated that Hungary was thinking of withdrawing from the court, but said that the decision had not yet been made.
