At the beginning of the meeting, Ambassador Attia briefed Zsolt on recent developments in the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip, the worsening humanitarian situation due to Israel’s blockade of aid, crimes committed by occupying forces and settlers in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem, and the destructive impact of Israel’s piracy policies on Palestinian tax revenues.

He emphasized the importance of strengthening Palestinian-Hungarian cooperation, Hungary’s support for the Palestinian cause, and establishing a parliamentary friendship committee between the two countries.
