Viktor Orban

The communications ministry is avoiding selling Israeli company Spacecom to Hungarian company 4iG due to concerns that Hungarian PM Viktor Orban is closely tied to the company.

Hungarian official defends Budapest against accusations of antisemitism.

“It is my privilege to reconfirm our commitment to the safety and security of Israel and our support for Israel against the biased and unfair approach in the international arena,” Orban wrote.

Europe’s two kosher foie gras factories aren’t in France, nor in England – instead, they are both in Hungary, where there are few Jews and kosher food is scarce.

The story of the museum, whose temporary name is the House of Fates, underlines how the legacy of the Holocaust keeps Jews from being fully integrated into Hungarian society.

"The European Parliament and the European Commission want us to let LGBTQ activists and organizations into the kindergartens and schools. Hungary does not want that," Orban said on his Facebook page.

The move, which critics say wrongly conflates pedophilia with LGBT issues, triggered a mass rally outside parliament on Monday, while several rights groups have called on Fidesz to withdraw the bill.

The leaders discussed the exchange of green passports for tourism and shared plans to integrate the two countries into Israel's plans to build an international vaccine manufacturing corporation.

Ambassador Hadas-Handelsman called the relationship between the Orban government and Hungary's Jewish community strong.

But now, in an unusual reversal, Orban is trying to level that same accusation at the country’s largest Jewish group, Mazsihisz.
