Hungary FM Holds Important Talks on Middle East

Alongside the hopefully decisive Alaska summit on the war in Ukraine, the expected developments in Gaza are now the main topic in international politics. "At noon today, in a phone conversation with my Israeli foreign minister colleague Gideon Sa’ar, we reviewed the evolving situation in the Middle East," Peter Szijjarto wrote on his Facebook page.

1. Access to humanitarian aid must be increased
2. All hostages — including the one Hungarian citizen — must be released immediately and unconditionally
3. The right to live in safety, free from terror and rocket attacks, must be restored for everyone living in the region
4. The terrorist organization called Hamas must have no role whatsoever in the future of the Middle East
