Hungary’s parliament has approved a bill to begin the country’s withdrawal from the International Criminal Court (ICC), citing political bias. The move came shortly after a visit from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces an ICC arrest warrant over alleged war crimes in Gaza, according to Reuters.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s government criticized the court as no longer impartial and rejected the warrant against Netanyahu as “brazen.” The bill, passed with 134 votes in favor and 37 against, states Hungary rejects the use of international institutions for political purposes.

Hungary’s withdrawal will take effect one year after official notification to the United Nations. Netanyahu praised the decision as “bold and principled”, Reuters reported.
