The court issued its verdict more than three months after the opposition-controlled National Assembly voted to impeach him.

Hungary says it is withdrawing from International Criminal Court as Israeli PM Netanyahu visits country
Hungary is withdrawing from the International Criminal Court (ICC), a move that comes shortly after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in the country on Thursday for a visit with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
Netanyahu, who is wanted by the ICC on allegations of war crimes in Gaza, and his wife were greeted on the tarmac by an honor guard and Hungarian Minister of Defense Kristóf Szalay-Bobrovniczky and Israeli Ambassador to Hungary Maya Kadosh.
He is expected to be in Hungary for four days.
Hungary – a founding member of the ICC – is obligated to arrest anyone wanted by the court and turn them over, but Orban has described the warrant for Netanyahu as «brazen, cynical and completely unacceptable.»

Orban’s Chief of Staff Gergely Gulyas told state media that Hungary would launch its withdrawal process later in the day on Thursday.
The withdrawal doesn’t come as a surprise as Orban questioned the country’s involvement in the ICC in February following President Donald Trump’s decision to impose sanctions on the court’s prosecutor, Karim Khan.
«It’s time for Hungary to review what we’re doing in an international organization that is under U.S. sanctions,» Orban said on X in February.

TRUMP UNVEILS SANCTIONS AGAINST INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT FOR NETANYAHU ARREST WARRANT
Hungary’s parliament will likely approve the bill to begin the year-long withdrawal process from the ICC since it is controlled by Orban’s Fidesz Party, according to Reuters.
Orban has strongly supported Netanyahu over the years and, in the past, has been quick to block EU statements or actions criticizing Israel.
Israel has rejected the ICC’s accusations, which come after the Jewish State launched a war against Hamas following the terrorist group’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack in southern Israel that left 1,200 dead and more than 250 taken as hostages.

When the court issued the warrant for Netanyahu and his former defense chief, Yoav Gallant, it said there was reason to believe both men participated in crimes including murder, persecution and starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza.
According to the Hamas-run Palestinian Ministry of Health, Israel has killed more than 50,000 Palestinians during its attack on Gaza.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Thursday said NATO nations must provide a «realistic pathway» to ramp up their defense spending to hit a 5% threshold – including the U.S.
«I understand there’s domestic politics, after decades of building up vast social safety nets that maybe don’t want to take away from that and invest more in national security,» Rubio said while speaking at a NATO foreign ministers event in Brussels. «But the events of the last few years… full-scale ground war in the heart of Europe as a reminder that hard power is still necessary as a deterrent.
«We do want to leave here with an understanding that we are on a pathway, a realistic pathway to every single one of the members committee, and fulfilling a promise to reach up to 5% of spending,» Rubio said, adding that «the United States will have to increase its percentage.»
NATO LEADERS PREDICT ERA OF 2% DEFENSE SPENDING ‘PROBABLY HISTORY’ AS TRUMP REPORTEDLY FLOATS HIGHER TARGET

While the majority of the 32 NATO members currently spend 2% of their nation’s GDP per previous NATO commitments, eight nations – Croatia, Portugal, Italy, Canada, Belgium, Luxembourg, Slovenia and Spain – have yet to meet their defense spending pledges.
Only Poland spends over 4% of its GDP on defense, while four other nations spend over 3% – Estonia, the U.S., Latvia and Greece.
Despite the severe spending increases this will demand from all NATO nations, Rubio’s push is unlikely to be met with serious opposition as NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, and other NATO allies, have increasingly called for more defense spending.
Washington in 2024 spent 3.38% of its GDP on defense, which equated to more than $967 billion, according to NATO figures released in July.
The U.S. closed out 2024 with a GDP of over $29.7 billion, which means it is on track to spend $1 trillion on defense in 2025 if it maintains the current expenditure rate of 3.38%.

Rubio did not detail what timeframe he expected to see nations increase their defense spending to hit the 5% threshold, though if the U.S. did it in 2025, that would mean allocating nearly $1.49 trillion for defense – a figure that is higher than the current total spent by the entire NATO alliance, which collectively spent $1.47 trillion in 2024.
«As we speak right now, the United States is as active in NATO as it has ever been,» Rubio said. «Some of this hysteria and hyperbole that I see in the global media and some domestic media in the United States about NATO is unwarranted.
«The United States president [has] made clear. He supports NATO. We’re going to remain in NATO,» he reaffirmed.

Rubio said the only way NATO nations can truly deter aggressor nations like Russia and China is by collectively increasing each NATO nation’s capabilities to contribute to the alliance’s collective defense.
«We understand that’s a tradeoff,» Rubio said. «We have to do it every single year in our country – I assure you that we also have domestic needs.
«But we’ve prioritized defense because of the role we’ve played in the world, and we want our partners to do the same,» Rubio confirmed.
