00:00Judges at the International Criminal Court want Hungary to explain why it failed to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he visited Budapest earlier this month.
00:13The court initiated non-compliance proceedings against Hungary after it welcomed Netanyahu despite an ICC arrest warrant against him for crimes against humanity in connection with the war in Gaza.
00:25The ICC and other international organizations criticized Hungary's defiance of the warrant.
00:33During the visit, Orban announced his country would pull out of the ICC, accusing it of becoming political.
00:40It's a process that will take at least a year to complete and will make Hungary the sole non-signatory within the European Union.
00:47With 125 current signatory countries, only the Philippines and Burundi have ever withdrawn from the court as Hungary intends.
