Amnesty International has said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must be arrested and handed over to the International Criminal Court should he visit Hungary or any other states that are members of the court, Al Jazeera reports.

The rights group made the comment in response to reports that Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban has invited Netanyahu to the country this week, an invitation that “shows contempt for international law and confirms that alleged war criminals wanted by the ICC are welcome on the streets of a European Union member state”, Amnesty’s Global Research, Advocacy and Policy head Erika Guevara-Rosas, said in a statement.
