Hungarian foreign minister talked about the Hungarian Hamas hostages’ fate in Qatar

Qatar has so far played a crucial role in securing the release of the hostages taken by Hamas from Israel, Péter Szijjártó, the foreign minister, said on Wednesday, noting that the three Hungarian citizens who have been released could not have gone free without the help of the Gulf country.

“I have now asked my friend Soltan bin Saad Al-Muraikhi, the state minister for foreign affairs, for Qatar’s help in freeing the last Hungarian citizen being held hostage,” Szijjártó said on Facebook. “My friend, Soltan, has assured me that Qatar will carry on with its efforts in the interest of a ceasefire and in securing the release of the hostages.”

“We greatly appreciate Qatar’s efforts, as it is clear that the Gaza conflict is giving rise to more and more conflicts and crises in the region, which must be avoided,” he said.
