SZIJJÁRTÓ: HUNGARY SUPPORTS US PEACE PLAN IN MIDDLE EAST

 

Hungary supports the United States’ peace plan for the Middle East, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said after a meeting with his European Union counterparts in Brussels, saying that the plan was the “best starting point for talks and the one with the best chance of being implemented”. Szijjártó said that the EU’s attempts to broker peace in the Middle East, a focal point of the meeting, had failed so far. Hungary opposes all EU declarations “that would reduce the chances of implementing the US plan, all overhasty judgements leading to a setback in the peace talks and all declarations condemning Israel for alleged or real intentions,” he said.
