Explaining the decision not to comply with the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant, Orbán said: “It is not customary to arrest guests in this country.”
At the same time, Hungary had no will to arrest Netanyahu because “Israel is a friend”, Orbán said.
“The point of foreign policy is for a country to make friends, and it is good if Israel is a friend and not an enemy of Hungary,” he added.
Orbán added that arresting the Israeli prime minister was not even legally possible because the international treaty in question had not been integrated into Hungary’s legal system.
“The prime minister is 1,000 percent safe in Hungary,” Orbán added.
