“This in itself is wrong,” Orbán told Hungarian state radio on Friday. “So there is no other choice here: we have to face this decision, and that is why later today I will invite the Prime Minister of the Israelis, Mr. Netanyahu, to visit Hungary.”

Netanyahu and Gallant were charged with crimes against humanity and war crimes over Israel’s brutal war in Gaza, which has killed more than 100 people. 44,000 Palestinians, including more than 17,000 children, probably all a huge undercount. Estimates in July of the Medical Journal The Lancet say the death toll could be higher 186,000.

Trump and the far right in America still have a long time admired Orbánwith conservatives praising his authoritarian leadership style. The conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation, which wrote the Project 2025 manifesto, is doing everything it can to Hungarian leader. Trump and Orbán get along well, and the president-elect meets with him several times about the last year.
