Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will travel to Hungary this week, his office said on Sunday, defying an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court issued over allegations of war crimes in Gaza.

During the visit, due to begin on Wednesday and run until Sunday, Netanyahu will meet his Hungarian counterpart Viktor Orban, who invited him in November, soon after the ICC issued the arrest warrant.

Well this'll be interesting. Isn't there an ICC obligation to arrest him? Would Interpol be able to do anything? My knowledge of criminal law at the international level is pretty average sorry...

Nothing will happen to him regardless of existing obligations.
