Netanyahu to visit Hungary soon, Budapest says

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will travel to Hungary on an official visit in the next few weeks, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s chief of staff says at a news conference.

Orban invited Netanyahu to visit Hungary in November, saying he would guarantee that an International Criminal Court arrest warrant against the Israeli premier, issued a day earlier, would “not be observed.”

The visit will take place sometime before Easter, which falls on April 20 this year, the Orban aide says.

The once-globe-trotting Netanyahu has restricted his visits to only the United States since the October 7, 2023, attack that sparked the war in Gaza.
