Amnesty International calls on Hungary to arrest Netanyahu amid planned visit
London: Amnesty International has urged Hungary to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his scheduled visit to the country on Wednesday. Netanyahu is set to meet Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has stated that Hungary will not enforce the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) arrest warrant against him.
The ICC issued a warrant for Netanyahu in November over alleged war crimes in Gaza. As an EU member state, Hungary is legally obligated to uphold ICC warrants, but Orban has refused to comply.
Erika Guevara-Rosas, Amnesty International’s head of global research, advocacy, and policy, said Netanyahu is accused of serious war crimes, including using starvation as a weapon, targeting civilians, and committing crimes against humanity such as murder and persecution.
The rights group warned that Netanyahu’s visit to an ICC member state without arrest would encourage further Israeli violations against Palestinians. It described his trip as a deliberate effort to undermine the ICC and an insult to victims seeking justice.
Amnesty International criticized Hungary’s stance, stating that allowing Netanyahu’s visit signals a disregard for international law. Guevara-Rosas urged European and global leaders to take action, warning that inaction would mock the suffering of Palestinian victims.
The organization also called on the ICC Prosecutor to pursue legal action against all of Israel’s alleged crimes and emphasized that leaders accused of war crimes must not enjoy impunity.
