Event Summary

Hungary's incoming prime minister, Péter Magyar, has announced that Hungary will execute International — International Criminal Court warrants against anyone, including Benjamin Netanyahu, despite having invited the Israeli leader to Budapest. This statement comes as Magyar also expressed his intention to reverse Hungary's previous decision under Viktor Orbán to withdraw from the International — International Criminal Court. The International — International Criminal Court had issued an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu in 2024 for alleged war crimes in Gaza. The United States has sanctioned International — International Criminal Court judges and prosecutors in response to these warrants, a move criticized by the United Nations. Additionally, Péter Magyar called on Ukraine to restart the damaged Druzhba pipeline and for Russia to resume oil shipments, and stated his government would review the financing conditions for the Paks-2 nuclear power plant project awarded to Russia's Rosatom.
