Hungary’s Incoming PM Invites Netanyahu Despite ICC Warrant
Hungary’s prime minister-elect, Peter Magyar, has spoken with Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu and extended an invitation for him to visit Hungary. The call, described as “warm,” signals Magyar’s intention to maintain strong ties with Israel, continuing the foreign policy of his predecessor despite the ICC arrest warrant against Netanyahu for alleged war crimes. Magyar, who swept to power last weekend ending Viktor Orbán’s 16-year rule, has promised to realign Hungary with EU policy, particularly on support for Ukraine. Yet this invitation suggests he will uphold close relations with Israel. Netanyahu reciprocated by inviting Magyar to Jerusalem and expressed confidence that bilateral ties would remain robust. The two nations’ foreign ministers are expected to meet soon.
