00:00And in news overseas, Hungary announced its decision to withdraw from the International
00:05Criminal Court, or ICC, coinciding with Prime Minister Viktor Orban hosting Israeli Prime
00:10Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces an ICC arrest warrant for war crimes in Gaza.
00:17Orban criticized the ICC as a political court and supported Netanyahu, who welcomed Hungary's
00:23move.
00:24The withdrawal process will take a year, and the ICC insisted Hungary still has a duty
00:29to cooperate.
00:30Netanyahu's visit aims to reduce the impact of the arrest warrant and facilitate his future
00:35travels.
00:36Hungary, a signatory to the Rome Statute, has never fully implemented the ICC's jurisdiction
00:42due to constitutional issues.
00:44Only Burundi and the Philippines have previously withdrawn from the court.
