In cooperation with embassies of Spain, Ireland, Slovenia, and Norway: Embassy of Palestine in Hungary commemorates the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.
The Embassy of the State of Palestine in Hungary, in collaboration with the embassies of Norway, Slovenia, Spain, and Ireland, marked the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People with a special event at the Palestine Residence in Budapest.
The gathering, attended by diplomats and international representatives, underscored the global commitment to supporting Palestinian rights and highlighted efforts to expand recognition of the State of Palestine. The event began with a performance of the Palestinian national anthem by Tunisian artist Mohamed Alloul, followed by a speech from Dr. Fadi Elhusseini, Ambassador of Palestine to Hungary.
Ambassador Elhusseini stressed that solidarity with the Palestinian cause must go beyond rhetoric, calling for tangible action to end the genocide and the occupation. He urged those who didn’t to recognize Palestine, noting that this recognition is critical to achieving stability and a just resolution to the conflict. He emphasized that Palestine has existed since the dawn of time and will remain till the end of time.
Elhusseini said that Palestine is under occupation and that negotiations are meant to tackle future arrangements, including borders, which the ambassador considered the key to the solution. The ambassador also highlighted the ongoing legal developments, including these at the International Criminal Court, the International Court of Justice, and the United Nations General Assembly’s calls for an end to the occupation. Elhusseini concluded by reaffirming the resilience of the Palestinian people, vowing that they would continue to fight for justice, freedom, and a free Palestine.
Not a welcome development. Having seen the unending demonstrations in London and other Western capitals, we do not need this nonsense imported to Hungary. Let there be at least one capital city in Europe where the Jewish population can feel safe, and that capital up until now is Budapest. Let’s keep it that way.
