Israeli Ambassador: Hungary One of the Safest Places for Practicing Jews
Hungary is virtually the only place where
practicing Jewish people can walk around without having to fear anything, said Yacov Hadas-Handelsman, Israel’s ambassador to Hungary, in an interview with pro-government daily
Magyar Nemzet.
In response to the question about Hungarian anti-Semitism (which in the view of German Social-Democrat politician Michael Roth, is increasing in Hungary), the ambassador said he preferred to base his opinion on facts. Firstly, he refers to the Anti-Defamation League’s list (that files anti-Semitic attacks), on which Hungary is ranked last among European countries.
