The Hungarian PM also explained why they didn't arrest Benjamin Netanyahu, why Hungary is leaving the ICC, and spoke about the government's plans to revive the economy.

Hungary will withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC), its government said Wednesday, as the country’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban welcomed Israeli Prime Minister and ICC fugitive Benjamin Netanyahu to Budapest.

Once upon a time, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strode the world with great confidence. His message for audiences back home, after another successful trip to Africa or Asia, would focus on how his hosts wanted Israel’s technology and admired its security.

Hungary has announced its decision to withdraw from the International Criminal Court, prompting reactions worldwide. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the matter with Donald Trump.

Hungary’s decision to leave the ICC, a process that will take at least a year to complete, will make it the only country in the 27-member European Union that is not a signatory to the court. With 125 current signatory countries, only the Philippines and Burundi have ever withdrawn from the court as Hungary intends.

Hungary was never fully committed to the International Criminal Court, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Friday, a day after his government announced a decision to quit the global tribunal for war crimes and genocide.
