Hungarian FM arrives in Israel
Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó arrives in Israel for a half-day visit.
He is set to discuss joint efforts to fight the coronavirus pandemic and discuss other issues on the international agenda.
After his meeting with his Israeli counterpart, Gabi Ashkenazi, the Hungarian top diplomat will meet with PM Netanyahu and sign a space research cooperation agreement with Science and Technology Minister Izhar Shay.
Hungary is one of Israel’s staunchest supporters in the international community, and one of the few countries that did not openly speak out against Jerusalem’s intention to unilaterally annex parts of the West Bank.
Welcome to #Jerusalem!
