The international human rights organization "Amnesty International" has called on Hungary to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, reports the Arab News newspaper.
The head of the department for global research, advocacy and policy, Erika Guevara-Rosas, called the politician a war criminal and therefore Budapest, as a party to the Rome Statute, should arrest Netanyahu with a warrant from the International Criminal Court.
The organization's employee believes that the visit of the Israeli Prime Minister to Hungary should be seen as an attempt to undermine the work of the international court. She called on European leaders to ask the Hungarian government to arrest Netanyahu.
As reported by the Times of Israel, the head of the Israeli government plans to arrive in Hungary on the evening of April 2. He will meet with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who in November rejected the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for the politician.
Earlier it became known that the future Chancellor of Germany from the Christian Democratic and Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU) Friedrich Merz had invited Netanyahu to Germany, despite the arrest warrant issued by the ICC.
