Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban visited this afternoon a Holocaust memorial to Yad Vashem in Jerusalem during a visit to Israel and a score of protesters waited at the exit, claiming that he was anti-Semitic and violated human rights. and hindered the departure of the Orban convoy, arguing that Jad Vaš employees should be ashamed to receive the Hungarian prime minister, reports Beta.
Jad Yah says in response that Orban was a guest of the state of Israel and received the guests of the state in accordance with the visiting plan prepared by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in charge of official visits. The police attacked the protesters a few minutes later.
Orban participated in a brief commemoration in the Hungarian language at the Memorial Center, during which he lit a torch and laid a candle in memory of the victims of the Holocaust. The host was Robert Rozet, director of the Yad Vashem Library, whose research focuses on Hungarian Jews in the Holocaust.
The Hungarian Prime Minister met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said that Hungary would not tolerate any anti-Semitism.
"All Jewish citizens in Hungary are protected by the government and we are proud of it," he said. The Israeli media reports, however, that Orban has been conducting a public anti-Semitic campaign against Jewish philanthropist George Soros over the past year, using terms and phrases drawn from the old Nazi propaganda, which the Hungarian Jewish community has strongly condemned. He also praised Miklos Horti, the leader of Hungary in the Second World War, although he was an anti-Semite and a Nazi associate.
Netanyahu labeled Orban as a true friend of Israel despite his opposition to his visit.
The Israeli Prime Minister congratulated the Hungarian counterpart for fighting anti-Semitism and thanked him for the Israeli attitude of Hungary, reported Associated Press
