Orbán warned that the attack threatened the entire Middle East with an interstate war, which he called "a grave threat" to the whole world, including Hungary.
Orbán said he had convened the Defence Council to assess the national security and economic consequences of the conflict for Hungary and had instructed the interior minister and the heads of the counter-terrorism services to ensure the safety of the Hungarian people "with all available means".
Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó said in a post on social media that he had spoken with his Israeli counterpart, Israel Katz, by phone and assured him of Hungary's solidarity with Israel and its people.
He expressed hope that a major escalation threatening global security could still be prevented.
