- Peter Magyar, set to become Hungary's next leader, has announced he will halt the country's planned withdrawal from the International Criminal Court (ICC).
- This decision means Hungarian authorities would be obliged to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he enters the country.
- Netanyahu is wanted by the ICC for alleged war crimes in Gaza, with a warrant issued in November 2024.
- Magyar explicitly warned Netanyahu about the potential arrest, stating his government's firm intention to ensure Hungary remains an ICC member.
- The move reverses a decision by the outgoing Viktor Orban government, which had intended to withdraw from the ICC by 2 June in protest of the warrant against Netanyahu.
