Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar praises Hungary’s ICC withdrawal

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar called Hungary’s decision to pull out of the International Criminal Court "important" in a post on X.

“The so-called 'International Criminal Court' lost its moral authority after trampling the fundamental principles of international law in its zest for harming Israel’s right to self-defense,” Saar said. “Thank you Hungary for your clear and strong moral stance alongside Israel,” he said.

The ICC issued an arrest warrant against Netanyahu in November over charges of war crimes in Gaza.
