“Netanyahu in Hungary, I will not arrest him.” Trump thinks about sanctions –

“We have no choice but to challenge this decision.” Viktor Orban, the prime minister of Hungary who assumed the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union in July, is drastic in commenting on the decision on the arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court against Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant. “I will invite the Israeli prime minister to come to Hungary, where I can guarantee him that the ICC decision will have no effect,” Orban said on Hungarian radio.

Meanwhile, the next Trump administration is reportedly considering introducing sanctions against the International Criminal Court for its decision on Israeli Prime Minister and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. According to Washington sources, the provision would particularly concern the chief prosecutor of the ICC, Karim Khan, and the judges who issued the warrants on what happened in Gaza. Yesterday, Mike Waltz, chosen by President-elect Donald Trump as National Security Advisor, tweeted: “In January you can expect a strong response to the anti-Semitic prejudice of the ICC and the UN.”

The comment by Joe Biden, current US president, is also harsh: «The issuing of arrest warrants by the International Criminal Court against Israeli leaders is scandalous. Let me be clear once again, whatever the ICC may imply, there is no equivalence, none, between Israel and Hamas. We will always stand by Israel against threats to its security.”
