Juso boss Türmer accuses Friedrich Merz Orbán course

Juso chairman Philipp Türmer believes Friedrich Merz on Orbán course and warns the CDU boss against violating international law. “Viktor Orbán welcomes Benjamin Netanyahu and whistles on international law. Against Netanyahu there is an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court,” said Türmer the star. “Friedrich Merz would also like to welcome Netanyahu in Berlin. A sign of which government heads Merz wants to line up.” In order to put the ax to the rule-based international law order, the chairman of the SPD youth organization criticized.

The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived on Thursday for a lasting visit to Budapest on Thursday. The World Criminal Court is looking for Netanyahu by international arrest for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza War. Prime Minister Orbán then demonstratively submitted an invitation to his ally Netanyahu. Hungary would have to have Netanyahu as one of the 125 contracting states of the court, but will not enforce the arrest warrant.

Friedrich Merz, probably the future Chancellor, had also announced that they wanted to invite Netanyahu to Germany. He would find ways that this does not have to be arrested. France, Italy and Poland had already let through that they would not enforce the arrest warrant.

Juso boss Türmer thinks this way of dealing with Netanyahu is wrong. The condemnation of the attack of the terrorist organization Hamas on Israel on October 7, 2023 was correct and, above all, with a view to the German State Räson, a “necessary commitment” by the Union and SPD. However, the hub warns: “It is just as important that we deal with a long -term peace perspective and support it as Germany. This is not possible by making up with Netanyahu unconditionally, but in which you are solidarity with those affected on site, with both sides: Israelis and Palestinians.”

Previously, SPD foreign politician Rolf Mützenich had also called for the future handling of Israel’s prime minister with a view to the planned coalition of the Union and SPD. Merz must finally make it clear that Germany would take the arrest warrant against Netanyahu if he visited the Federal Republic. This would meet the future Federal Chancellor of Germany’s role if it is about the recognition and further development of international criminal law. The former SPD parliamentary group leader accused the government in Hungary to make the punishment guilty.

On Thursday, the Hungarian Chancellery Minister announced that his country wanted to leave the International Criminal Court. The announcement was made shortly after Netanyahus. Accordingly, Hungary’s government wanted to start the exit procedure on Thursday. The country procedures according to its own constitution and international law.

The basic contract of the ICC provides that an exit comes into force one year after the written termination. The court did not react directly to the announcement.
