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.

    Them telling lies and newspapers spreading them is how we ended up here. This is not about that Netanyahu didn‘t say it but that he‘s likely deliberately lying through his teeth precisely so it gets reported on.

      What’s Your point? It’s the duty of independent media in democracies to uncover false information spread by public servants. EUobserver did well in this respect, don’t You think? Do You prefer that the false information spreads unchecked? If You prefer news without lying politicians, You should probably unsubscribe from all politics-heavy communities including c/europe
