• France and Germany have begun discussions to radically reform the EU's diplomatic service, as the current structure is deemed unable to handle ongoing geopolitical crises. • In a separate development on June 11, 2026, Germany sought to transfer €6.6 billion from the European Peace Fund to Ukraine. • While Hungary had previously unblocked these funds, Poland has now stepped in to block the decision.

• Hungarian lawmakers voted 133 to 37, with five abstentions, to formally repeal a law that would have seen the country exit the International Criminal Court (ICC). • The decision reverses a previous initiative led by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to withdraw from the global judicial body. • This legislative move is significant as it ensures Hungary remains a member of the ICC, maintaining its commitment to international justice and legal accountability.

• The Hungarian Parliament voted 133-37 to repeal a previous decision to withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC), reversing a move initiated by former Prime Minister Viktor Orban. • The withdrawal had been announced by Orban as a gesture of support for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces an ICC arrest warrant, with Orban claiming the court had become "political." • The reversal was driven by a bill introduced by the new Prime Minister, Peter Magyar, signaling a shift in Hungary's international legal alignment.
