This visit marks Netanyahu's first trip to Europe since 2023, and it occurred just one day after the ICC's war crimes warrant was made public. The political maneuvering reflects Hungary's alliance with Israel amid ongoing tensions in Gaza, where large-scale displacements continue as the Israeli military establishes new security zones, further complicating the humanitarian situation.
