The Hungarian government announced the withdrawal of its membership from the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Key points:
The announcement came as Prime Minister Viktor Orban arrived to meet his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu.
Benjamin Netanyahu has been issued an arrest warrant by the ICC.
The withdrawal bill is likely to be approved by Hungary's parliament.
The ICC has not yet commented on Hungary's announcement.
The withdrawal of a state from the Court takes effect only one year after the withdrawal letter is submitted to the office of the UN Secretary-General.
So far only Burundi and the Philippines have withdrawn from the ICC.
International Criminal Court (ICC):
It is a permanent, independent and international court established to investigate and adjudicate the most serious international crimes.
Its main objective is to hold accountable those individuals who commit serious acts such as crimes against humanity, war crimes, genocide and the crime of aggression.
