A panel of judges at the International Criminal Court has referred Hungary to the court's oversight body after Hungary failed to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his visit to Budapest in April. The court criticized Hungary for undermining its mandate by not executing the arrest warrant, which accuses Netanyahu and a former defense minister of crimes against humanity related to the conflict in Gaza. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán defended his decision, stating Hungary's commitment to the court is 'half-hearted' and has begun the process to withdraw from the institution. The oversight body will consider possible actions against Hungary at its annual meeting in December, but its powers to sanction are limited.
