Hungarians stuck in Israel because Orbán cabinet travelled to Georgia?

Opposition MP Ákos Hadházy said that the rescue mission of the Hungarian nationals stuck in Israel amid war stopped because the Hungarian military aircrafts had to transport PM Orbán, his wife and the government members to Georgia.

Hadházy said there was a government session in the Georgian capital where Orbán and his wife took part on dinner with his Georgian counterpart, Irakli Garibasvili. The Hungarian MP highlighted that there were lots of Hungarians waiting for air rescue in Israel, but there were no planes to go since they were in Georgia. Taking home Hungarians (and other foreign nationals) from Israel continues only after the cabinet returned home, Hadházy added.

Foreign minister: Second military aircraft evacuates 62 people from Israel

Meanwhile, a Hungarian Armed Forces aircraft departed from Israel late on Friday, the second that day, evacuating 62 people, 46 Hungarians among them, the minister of foreign affairs and trade said. This was the fifth flight by the Hungarian Air Force to evacuate Hungarian citizens from the conflict zone, Péter Szijjártó said on Facebook.

“Thanks to the rescue efforts of the foreign ministry and defence ministry, and the coordinated work of our embassies, 547 Hungarian citizens have already been helped to make their way home,” Szijjártó said. “Since the armed conflict broke out in Israel, we have been working 24/7 to make sure all Hungarians in danger make it home safely.” “Our colleagues continue to monitor the events closely and stand ready to help when required,” he said.
