Szijjarto discusses war with Israeli minister for strategic affairs
Peter Szijjarto, the minister of foreign affairs and trade, talked with Ron Dermer, Israel's minister of strategic affairs, over the phone on Monday.
Szijjarto and Dermer discussed the situation in the Middle East, and Szijjarto reiterated Hungary’s stance that Israel had the right to self-defence, the Hungarian minister said on Facebook.
Szijjarto said the international community had a vested interest in avoiding terror attacks like the one Israel had suffered.
Dermer confirmed media reports that the body of a hostage, a Hungarian-Israeli dual citizen, had been found, Szijjarto said.
The ministers again reinforced their commitment to freeing the other Hungarian-Israeli hostage still held by Hamas, he said.
