ATHENS Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Thursday defended his country’s decision to withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC) and also expressed full support for Israel, whose premier is wanted under an ICC warrant. At a joint news conference with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Orban claimed the court had become “political.” “It's political, and it is not unbiased, and this was clearly shown – mostly shown – by the decisions related to Israel,” he said.
