The Palestinian Authority urges Hungary to arrest visiting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in accordance with an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant over alleged war crimes in the Gaza Strip.

“The ministry calls on the Hungarian government… to comply with the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant by immediately handing Netanyahu over to bring him to justice,” the PA’s foreign affairs ministry says in a statement, hours after Hungary announced it would withdraw from the ICC.
