(Reuters) -Hungary's parliament approved a bill on Tuesday that will start the country's year-long withdrawal process from the International Criminal Court (ICC) as Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government claims the court has become "political". Orban's government announced the move on April 3, shortly after Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in Hungary for a state visit in a rare trip abroad in defiance of an ICC arrest warrant.
