Hungary prevents joint EU appeal to Israel. EU foreign policy chief wanted to demand that Israel refrain from launching an offensive in Rafah in the Gaza Strip on behalf of all EU states.
According to EU diplomats, Germany would have agreed to the declaration. The Hungarian government initially had no comment on Borrell's text. It is considered particularly Israel-friendly in the EU. The situation in the Middle East will also be a topic at a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels on Monday. The start of the military operation in the Red Sea should also be decided.
