Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, currently in Budapest, has thanked his Hungarian counterpart for the country’s refusal to honour the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) arrest warrant against Netanyahu, Al Jazeera reports.
Meeting with Hungary’s Peter Szijjarto, Saar repeated Israel’s claims that the ICC is a “political and corrupt” institution, according to comments carried by The Times of Israel newspaper.
“It is unprecedented for the ICC to turn against a democratic country that is fighting terrorism, that is acting in accordance with international law and the rule of law,” said Saar.
