The European Green Party is calling for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to be arrested and face trial at The Hague as he arrives in Hungary, Al Jazeera reports.

“The European Union and national governments have a duty to uphold international law and ensure accountability for war crimes and human rights abuses,” said European Greens co-chair Ciaran Cuffe in a statement.

European Green Party co-chair Vula Tsetsi added: “Orban is bulldozering over EU treaties and obligations … That is why we, as European Greens, have been consistently calling for the abolishment of national vetoes on matters related to foreign policy.

“Ignoring the ICC arrest warrant against Netanyahu means ignoring the reasons for which it was issued, which is unacceptable.”
