Israel values friendly relations with Hungary and hopes that
this country's presidency of the European Union will help
strengthen Tel Aviv's position in the West.
According to Azernews , this was stated by the
head of the Israeli Foreign Ministry, Israel Kats, based on the
results of his meeting with his Hungarian counterpart, Peter
Sijarto, in Budapest.
He stressed that Hungary's presidency of the EU provides an
unparalleled opportunity to improve Israel's position in the
European Union.
"Hungary will play a central role in the implementation of the
continental corridor concept that will connect the East and the
West," the minister said.
"Hungary's leading role in the EU can contribute to the
continuation of sanctions against Iran and its attempts to acquire
nuclear weapons. It is important that the European Union, together
with the United States and other countries, opposes Iran in order
to prevent a full-scale war," he added.
According to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, during the
meeting, an agreement was reached on Tel Aviv's positive response
to the invitation to participate in the Council of the EU
Association, which will begin on July 1 under the chairmanship of
