The Hungarian minister also highlighted Budapest's position on this issue.

Thus, Szijjarto noted that Hungary will strive to prevent attacks on Israel. However, according to him, it is necessary to exclude the outbreak of a major regional war.

The diplomat added: “The conflict could engulf the entire region due to the involvement of other states in the confrontation besides Israel.”

The Hungarian minister called on the international community to focus on de-escalating the crisis rather than escalating it.
