„The conditions for a peaceful coexistence are fully ensured” in Hungary, Péter Szijjártó said at a joint press conference with Israel Katz, his Israeli counterpart. Szijjártó expressed deep concern over increasing anti-Israeli tendencies in international organisations. „Israel is entitled to fair and equal treatment in international organisations,” the foreign ministry quoted Szijjártó as saying, adding that the Hungarian government had always thwarted „unilateral, biased attacks and statements against Israel, and will continue to do so in future.”
Mounting modern-age anti-Semitism in Europe „is the result of an absolutely irresponsible migration policy, under which a vociferous minority can often override the will of a quiet majority,” Szijjártó said. The minister said criticism of Hungary over anti-Semitism „by countries … who should at least keep quiet” was „absolutely shocking”.
