Hungary's Orban breaks with neighbors to dismiss ICC's arrest warrant for Netanyahu

Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban said Friday he would invite Benjamin Netanyahu to visit his country and that he would guarantee that an International Criminal Court arrest warrant against the Israeli prime minister would "not be observed."

Orban's remarks stand in contrast to a long list of European leaders who promised to respect the court's decision.

Ireland's prime minister Simon Harris said Friday that his country would be prepared to arrest the Israeli prime minister if he came to the country.

“We support international courts and we apply their warrants,” Harris told national broadcaster RTE when asked if Netanyahu would be arrested if he arrived in Ireland for whatever reason.

In doing so, Harris followed several other European countries who have said they would respect the court's accusations.

The Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and Slovenia all said Thursday that they would meet their commitments and obligations regarding the Rome Statute — the treaty that established the ICC — and international law, although only some of those countries explicitly said that they would arrest Netanyahu.

The ICC issued arrest warrants on Thursday for Netanyahu and his former defense chief Yoav Gallant, as well as Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif, for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza conflict.

the ICC has no power to enforce anything. their only power is where the sun don’t shine. not today...not ever.

“”Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban””

The only leader in Europe with courage PLUS a working brain!

[frank ballenger]

Here is an easy to understand proof of the hypocrisy of the types who set up this bogus warrant.

The group in which Yasser Arafat committed many atrocities to civilians included taking a 69 year old wheelchair bound Jewish tourist and shooting him, and then throwing him and his wheelchair over the rail into the water. During Achille Lauro hijacking of a non military ship.

Another :”One of the attacks for which the DFLP is best known is the 1974 Ma’alot massacre in which 25 schoolchildren and teachers were killed.”

Then.....

Yasser Arafat walks down the aisle with a loaded pistol on his hip holster, and then addresses the applauding United Nations General Assembly from the podium. (Some reports say he set his pistol down before speaking. Others don’t.)

So he wasn’t on a wanted list by the people who are after Netanyahu.

[Mr. Mojo]

Orban is one of the very few world leaders who has his head on straight. Milei is another. Short list.

[MtnClimber]

Why not arrest all of the head chopping muslims that have invaded your countries instead?

Josep Borrell

"Borrell joined the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) in 1975" "In July 2004 Borrell was elected President of the European Parliament, as a result of an agreement between the EPP and the Socialists" "his participation in this convention, which drafted the European Constitution that eventually led to the Treaty of Lisbon.[61] During his time at the (EU) convention... he advocated for the explicit mention of the equality between women and men. A laicist, he also opposed then the inclusion of the notion of a "Christian heritage" in the text." ~ Wikipedia

[Mr. Mojo]

Yep, and the father of modern terrorism (Arafat) also received a Nobel Peace Prize. Leftists have been bedfellows with jihadis for a long time.

[Eleutheria5]

That anti-Semite Orbach! Another evil Nazi, just like Trump./sarc

[BobL]

One thing virtually FOR CERTAIN is that this ‘indictment’ was at the request of the US Government, as a way to make life even more difficult for Trump (one would think starting WW3 would be enough, but not for them, I guess).

[Jeff Chandler]

Imagine Netanyahu being arrested in Germany?!

[yldstrk]

Good man.

“Why not arrest all of the head chopping muslims that have invaded your countries instead?”

The head chopping muslims serve as a convenient smoke screen for the Europeans when reports come out about the rise of anti-Semitic attacks in Europe. They give the Europeans a cover behind which the Europeans can indulge their own anti-Semitism.

I know munitions are getting short around the world but can’t anyone spare a missile or two for the ICC?

[Locomotive Breath]

I was just in Budapest. Hungary was occupied by the Ottoman Turks for about 150 years. The Hungarians have long memories and are not about to commit cultural suicide in favor of Islam. (BTW, I found that they refer to themselves as Magyars and not Hungarians.)

[Ancesthntr]

Good on Orbam, he has again proven his decency.

[Kudsman]

Ask Orban if he wants to buy the UN. That would be miraculous. I’d rather sell it to him than the stabby folks.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Yeah, it is amazing how that works.

[magooey]

as well as Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif

The name is familiar. The IDF delivered justice to this person the other month. Maybe the ICC needs to have some justice delivered to itself too.
