The Human Rights Watch (HRW) has urged Hungary to arrest Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he sets foot in the country, Anadolu Agency reports.

“Hungary should deny entry to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or arrest him if he enters the country,” the New York-based rights group said as Netanyahu’s office announced a visit to Hungary this week following an invitation from PM Viktor Orban.

“As an International Criminal Court (ICC) member country, Hungary is obligated to cooperate in securing the arrest and surrender of any suspects who enter its territory. Without its own police force, the ICC relies on states to assist in arrests,” the HRW said.

“Orban’s invitation to Netanyahu is an affront to victims of serious crimes,” said Liz Evenson, international justice director at HRW.

“Hungary should comply with its legal obligations as a party to the ICC and arrest Netanyahu if he sets foot in the country.”
