Human Rights Watch has called on Hungary to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits, in accordance with the warrant issued by the International Criminal Court.

It added, citing an unnamed official source, that Netanyahu is expected to travel to Hungary on Saturday, March 21, to deliver a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in the country.
