Hungarian government: democrats are with Israel

The international community must choose between the path of terrorism and democracy when it comes to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the head of Hungarian parliament’s foreign affairs committee said on Tuesday.

After attending the second working day in the winter session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) in Strasbourg, Zsolt Németh told MTI by phone that a long-term solution must be sought for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but terrorism must not be part of the solution.

“A choice must be made, whether the international community would follow the path of the Hamas terrorists … or set out on the path of democracy and international law,” he said. “Hungary recommends the latter and Hungary represents the latter,” he added.

One must not forget that the Hamas Islamist terrorist organisation’s October 7 attack was the cause of the current situation, he said.
