The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade made the announcement on Tuesday, adding that Jordan was accessible via two land border crossings from Israel.

Speaking on the Truth Hour podcast, Péter Szijjártó said there were many Hungarians in Israel, who could leave the country either towards Jordan, or through a 24-hour border crossing to Egypt.

Wizz Air is stepping up its service to and from Sharm-al-Sheik to 10 flights a week from the current three to transport the Hungarians arriving there, he said.
