But my comment wasn’t about Netanyahu - it was about Hungary being the odd one out in several cases now, and their withdrawal from the ICC is just the latest example of them seemingly holding different values than the rest of the EU. Whether or not the entire EU agrees on what to do about Benjamin is irrelevant here - the ICC has issued an arrest warrant, and for an ICC member state to refuse to comply is effectively a refusal to respect international law. Who the warrant is for isn’t the point; the principle is.
