Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will fly to Hungary on Wednesday evening, according to a schedule released by his office.
Netanyahu will meet with Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who in November rejected the ICC decision to seek Netanyahu’s arrest for alleged war crimes in Gaza and invited him to make an official visit.
As he almost always does, Netanyahu will remain abroad over the Jewish Sabbath with his entourage and security detail at taxpayer expense.
Hungary is a close Israeli ally in the European Union and NATO.
