Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that Hungary’s incoming leader, Péter Magyar, invited him to come, in what would make a mockery of Magyar’s promises to respect international law.

“Magyar … invited prime minister Netanyahu to participate in a ceremony commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Hungarian Uprising [on 23 October],” said Netanyahu’s office in its read-out of their call on Wednesday (15 August).

“Netanyahu welcomed his remarks and accepted the invitation,” it said.
