At a Chabad event in Hungary, Foreign Minister Eli Cohen says that Budapest will announce in the near future that it is moving its embassy to Jerusalem.

“Hungary will be the first country in the European Union that will announce in a number of weeks that it is moving its embassy to Jerusalem,” he says in a video shared with The Times of Israel.

The Foreign Ministry and Hungary’s embassy in Israel decline to comment.

Hungary, one of Israel’s closest allies in Europe, has a trade office in Jerusalem, which is an official branch of its embassy.
