Hungary may withdraw from the International Criminal Court
Hungary is also reassessing its future participation in the International Criminal Court, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said after a phone call with his Israeli counterpart on Saturday.
“My Israeli counterpart, Gideon Sa’ar, and I reviewed the possibilities and plans for the settlement of the conflict in the Middle East,” Szijjártó said on Facebook. “I assured my colleague of Hungary’s support for any proposal that is capable of creating long-term peace and stability in the Middle East.”
“We were in agreement that the activities of the International Criminal Court have become seriously politicised, and that the ICC has discredited the international judicial system, so I informed him that Hungary, too, is reassessing its future participation in the organisation,” the minister added.
FM Szijjártó hails Egypt govt’s ‘responsible’ migration policy
Without the Egyptian government’s “responsible” policy, the migration pressure on Europe would be far more severe, Szijjártó said on Facebook on Saturday. Szijjártó said he had spoken with his Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdelatty by phone and expressed Hungary’s appreciation for the stability the Egyptian government’s “responsible policy” provided for the North African region and how it helped Europe protect itself against waves of illegal migration.
Hungary therefore urges the European Union to give Egypt the 4 billion euros in financial aid that it has promised as soon as possible and without conditions, the minister said. “We have agreed to closely coordinate our efforts in the Sahel region, where reducing and curbing the threat of terrorism is in our shared interest,” he said. Hungary and Egypt have also agreed to elevate their relations to a priority strategic partnership at their next high-level meeting, the minister said.

Please also withdraw from EU and NATO.
This is getting rather serious – and disturbing. Perhaps a disguised 51st State bid by our Politicians?
For context – the ICC and European Union are separate – however …

@josehernandez – the Hungarian people belong in the EU and NATO. We´re just rather unfortunate when it comes to our Politicians, who now feel very empowered. Hence the flurry of nonsense of late. Facts, data, and context be damned!
Jose has the right idea. Unfortunately Fidesz seeks to stay in both organizations in order to have the ability to disrupt them to assist Russian interests.
Hungary should withdraw from ICC. It is a biased organization and try to interfere even in non-member nations. 80+ % of Gazan were hamas terrorist supporters, therefore starvation would have been a legitimate war tactic (Gazans celebrated the Israeli massacre). Unfortunately, Israel never starved the Gazans. Yet, ICC put out an arrest warrant on P.M. Netanyahu and for months did not do the same for the hamas leader; the hamas leader started the war attacking Israel on Oct. 7th, brutally murdered sleeping population as well as taking hostages.
Hungary has never signed the Rome Status. ICC is totally politicized like the UN. P.M. Netanyahu and Israel is and ally of Hungary, there is no way Hungary would arrest the P.M. It is time for the ICC to stop antisemitism instead of cultivating it.
Norbert – Concur.
Hungary, under the Prime Ministership of Victor Orban and his Fidesz Government, “overdose” of the idiotic idea, that Hungary can exist, grow, expand – have a “glorious” future by STANDING Alone, as an independent country – INSENSIBLE.
Hungary – needs the European Union, it needs N.A.T.O. it needs to be in the ICC – it needs to “re-new” it’s VOWS – into the practice of DEMOCRACY.
Hungary, through the name Orban and his Fidesz Government, by the REAL World, through the POWER of DEMOCRACY – continue to get HAMMERED that continues to send Hungary into an Abyss.
