### Post-ICC indictment

On November 21, 2024, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu, severely limiting his options for traveling outside Israel without the risk of being arrested. Formally, all 124 countries who are parties to the Rome Statute are obligated to arrest him upon entry. The arrest warrant also complicates his ability to travel to countries that are not parties to the Rome Statute, due to the risk of an emergency landing during the trip in a country that is a party to the statute.
Although Hungary is a party to the Rome Statute, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán publicly declared that he will not arrest Netanyahu if he arrived in Hungary for a visit.
After winning the election in 2025, Friedrich Merz announced that he "would find a way" for Netanyahu to visit Germany "without being arrested under a warrant by the International Criminal Court".
In mid-December 2024, reports surfaced that Netanyahu had gone to Cairo to attend ceasefire negotiations for the Israel-Hamas War. Netanyahu's office denied the reports, saying that on the day in question, Netanyahu was actually visiting Syrian territory invaded by Israel following the fall of the Assad regime.
