Hungary, unlike the United States, is a signatory to the court, which accused the Israeli leader of war crimes in Gaza. Responses to the warrant from other European countries were varied.

(Reuters) - Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has invited Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu to visit his country, Netanyahu's office confirmed on Saturday.

Viktor Orban has vowed to defy the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) arrest warrant against Benjamin Netanyahu – saying that the Israeli leader is invited to Hungary. On Thursday, the court accused Mr Netanyahu and his former defence minister Yoav Gallant of crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza.
