FM of the Country that Brutally Murdered 6 Million Jews Says That Netanyahu's Visit to Hungary "Marks a Dark Day"

 German Foreign Minister Baerbock:

“Netanyahu’s visit to Hungary marks a dark day for international law.”

Hungary Welcomes Netanyahu and Announces It’s Quitting Top War Crimes Court

 

 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in Hungary’s capital early Thursday to red carpet treatment despite a warrant for his arrest issued by the world’s top war crimes court.

Hungary’s government, led by its populist prime minister and Netanyahu ally, Viktor Orbán, used the occasion of the Israeli leader’s visit to announce it will begin the procedure of withdrawing from the international tribunal that issued the warrant, the International Criminal Court.

Just as Netanyahu met with Orbán for a welcome with full military honors in Budapest’s Castle District, Orbán’s chief of staff, Gergely Gulyás, wrote in a brief statement that “the government will initiate the withdrawal procedure on Thursday, in accordance with the constitutional and international legal framework.”

At the welcoming ceremony kicking off Netanyahu’s visit, only his second foreign trip since the ICC issued the warrant against him in November, he stood alongside Orbán as a military band played and an elaborate processions of soldiers on horseback and carrying swords and bayoneted rifles marched by.

The two leaders were set to hold talks later on Thursday, and Netanyahu was also to meet Hungarian President Tamás Sulyok in the Presidential Palace.

The Israeli leader will spend several days in Hungary before departing on Sunday.

The ICC, based in The Hague, Netherlands, said when issuing its warrant there was reason to believe Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant used “starvation as a method of warfare” by restricting humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, and intentionally targeted civilians in Israel’s campaign against Hamas — charges that Israeli officials deny.

After the ICC issued the warrant in November, Orbán accused the world’s only permanent global tribunal for war crimes and genocide of “interfering in an ongoing conflict for political purposes,” saying the move undermined international law and escalated tensions.

His invitation to Netanyahu was in open defiance of the court’s ruling. Hungary joined the court in 2001 during Orbán’s first term as prime minister.

Currently, all countries in the 27-member European Union including Hungary are signatories, and all members are required to detain suspects facing a warrant if they set foot on their soil. But the court relies on member countries to enforce that.

Reacting to Hungary’s decision to leave the court, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar thanked Orbán for the move, writing on X: “I commend Hungary’s important decision to withdraw from the ICC.”

“The so-called ‘International Criminal Court’ lost its moral authority after trampling the fundamental principles of international law in its zest for harming Israel’s right to self-defense,” Saar wrote. “Thank you Hungary for your clear and strong moral stance alongside Israel and the principles of justice and sovereignty!”

Netanyahu in February met U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington, where Trump suggested that displaced Palestinians in Gaza be permanently resettled outside the war-torn territory and proposed the U.S. take “ownership” in redeveloping the area into “the Riviera of the Middle East.”

Neither the United States or Israel are signatories to the ICC. Trump in February issued sanctions against the court for its investigations into Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza which has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians, many of them children.

The ICC has criticized Hungary’s decision to defy its warrant for Netanyahu. The court’s spokesperson, Fadi El Abdallah, earlier said it’s not for parties to the ICC “to unilaterally determine the soundness of the Court’s legal decisions.” On Thursday, he said the court “recalls that Hungary remains under a duty to cooperate with the ICC.”

The leaders of some countries in Western Europe are calling for Hungary to arrest Netanyahu on the ICC international arrest warrant but that isn’t going to happen.

Instead, Hungary is leaving the ICC

Zelle used by 150 million shuts down its app

 

One of the biggest names in digital banking has officially shut down its app, sending millions scrambling to make sure they have a way of sending money.

Zelle, which has 150 million customers in the US, will no longer allow users to make payments through their stand-alone app.

The company initially warned users that their app was shutting down its payment services on October 31, 2024, and on Tuesday, the change went into effect.

Although millions of Americans use Zelle to pay their rent, pay bills, and send money to friends and family, the company noted that only two percent of these transactions take place on the stand-alone app itself.

The vast majority of users actually access Zelle through their bank, which led the digital payment giant to decide it was time to cut their app.

Zelle launched in 2017 with the backing of 30 banks operating in the US, including Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo.

As of 2025, over 2,200 different banks and credit unions in the US offer customers the ability to use Zelle through their own banking apps - accounting for 98 percent of the company's financial transactions.

With the writing on the wall for their underused app, Zelle told anyone still sending money directly through the company to immediately sign up for their bank's online services, which will continue to work with Zelle.

In October, Zelle officials said in a blog post: 'This change will not impact the vast majority of consumers who use Zelle to send or receive money.'

To their point, the process has become incredibly convenient for those sending money through Zelle using their bank's app.

The feature even allows people to easily send money by scrolling through their phone contacts.

Once you log into your bank's app - whether that's Chase, TD Bank, or any other institution - customers will see a Zelle logo somewhere on the screen, giving them the option to send money or make payments.

Once you tap it, your smartphone's contact list pops up, eliminating the need for writing down long account numbers.

If the person you want to send money to has the email or phone number sitting in your contacts registered with a bank, you're all set - Zelle and your bank know where the money is headed.

If the person receiving the funds hasn't signed up for Zelle, they'll receive an email or text letting them know they have money ready to claim after signing up.

'Users of the app will continue to be able to access it, but the app will be dedicated to consumer education about scams and fraud and provide a list of the more than 2,200 banks and credit unions that offer Zelle,' the company explained.

Since 2017, Zelle has become the go-to peer-to-peer payment system in the country, even as they compete with rivals Venmo and Cash App.

Last year, Zelle processed over $1 trillion in payments across 3.6 billion different banking transactions.

It's a 28-percent bump over Zelle's 2023 total of $806 billion processed.

In 2023, Venmo only processed approximately $270 billion and Cash App came in at around $248 billion.

The biggest advantage the digital platform has may be its focus on direct bank-to-bank transfers without holding your money in another account on the app.

With apps like Venmo, the money someone transfers to your account first lands in a Venmo wallet, where it can take a few days to process before it shows up in your actual bank account.

However, you can get that money faster if you pay a fee for an instant bank transfer.

Zelle, on the other hand, does not charge extra fees to move your money instantly.
