SZIJJÁRTÓ: HUNGARY RESOLUTELY CONDEMNS HEZBOLLAH ROCKET ATTACK AGAINST ISRAEL

 

Hungary resolutely condemns the latest Hezbollah rocket attack against Israel that has claimed the lives of children in an especially painful way, Péter Szijjártó, the foreign minister, said on Sunday. Such attacks markedly escalate the risk of a cross-border war and of “engulfing the entire Middle East in flames”, the minister said in a Facebook post. A new war breaking out in the Middle East would have dramatic repercussions amid the current global security environment, he said, adding that the international community must reinforce efforts to avoid escalation of the crisis in the region.
