Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has left Budapest to head to the United States to talk tariffs and Iran with US President Donald Trump after wrapping up a multi-day visit to Hungary, AFP reports.

Nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban hosted his long-standing Israeli ally in Hungary this week, despite an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant for alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza.

Both Orban and Netanyahu slammed the ICC at a joint press conference, with the Israeli premier expressing hope that Hungary “would not be the last state” to exit the “corrupt organisation”.

“I have just concluded a very important visit to Hungary,” Netanyahu said in a statement, adding that cooperation in the production of munitions, among other issues, was discussed.
