The Spin

Pro-Israel narrative

The ICC’s decision to issue arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was an outrageous attempt to undermine Israel’s right to self-defense. By inviting Netanyahu for a visit and moving to withdraw from the ICC, Viktor Orbán is not only acknowledging this fact but also demonstrating his credentials as a steadfast ally of Israel, willing to make a stand against unjust international pressure.

Jerusalem Post

Anti-Israel narrative

Hungary’s defiance of the ICC arrest warrant, coupled with Orban’s disgraceful withdrawal from the court, severely undermines international law and accountability for alleged war crimes. These actions set a dangerous precedent that could allow powerful nations to abuse the weak and evade justice, further threatening the global system of human rights protection.
