Sweden cleared the final hurdle to join
the alliance after Hungary’s parliament approved the motion, Politico reports.
The historic move for Sweden comes after the country’s neutrality lasted through two world wars and the Cold War.
.
Sweden is the 32nd member to join the military alliance.
.
Hungary was the last NATO member to hold out on Sweden’s membership but held a parliamentary vote to approve it.
.
188 lawmakers in the Hungarian parliament supported Sweden’s NATO membership,
6 against and no abstentions.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine caused Sweden to change its decade-long stance of neutrality, all while the future of NATO’s future remains uncertain.
.
Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, withheld his approval of Sweden’s bid
for over 600 days.
Orbán has faced criticism for maintaining contact with Russian president,
Vladimir Putin.

Netanyahu praised Hungary’s plan to withdraw from the International Criminal Court, branding it “corrupt” and “political.” Standing beside PM Viktor Orbán in Budapest, Netanyahu thanked Hungary for opposing what he called a biased body targeting democratic nations. Orbán cited the ICC’s actions as unacceptable, while rights groups warned the move weakens global justice. The visit marks Netanyahu’s latest defiant appearance abroad amid an ICC arrest warrant over alleged war crimes in Gaza, positioning Hungary as one of his few international allies.
