Hungary has decided that the country will withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC), the government said on Thursday, shortly after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in the country for a state visit.
"The government will initiate the withdrawal procedure on Thursday, in accordance with the constitutional and international legal framework," said Gergely Gulyás, chief of staff for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
The ICC has faced increasing controversy in recent years, in particular because of the arrest warrants issued against Russian President Vladimir Putin and Netanyahu.
