The “Keren Or” Chabad House in Hungary was awarded an official state decoration today (Thursday) by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orb\u00e1n, recognizing its 23 years of dedication to strengthening Jewish heritage, providing a welcoming home for every Jew and Israeli, and supporting those in need, including Holocaust survivors.<\/p>\n
“A Great Sanctification of God\u2019s Name”<\/strong> \nThe award was presented by Minister Gergely Guly\u00e1s on behalf of the Hungarian government during a festive ceremony highlighting the significant contributions of the Jewish community in Hungary. Representatives of Chabad described the event as “a great sanctification of God’s name” and pledged to continue their efforts to strengthen Jewish identity and preserve the community.<\/p>\nGideon Sa\u2019ar and the President of Hungary | Photo: Israeli Embassy in Budapest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
At the same time, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to visit Hungary, despite the arrest warrant issued against him by the International Criminal Court (ICC) following the war in Gaza. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orb\u00e1n has announced that Hungary will not honor the warrant and has publicly expressed support for Israel.<\/p>\n
Netanyahu’s Visit to Hungary<\/strong> \nSeeking international support, Netanyahu views Hungary as a key ally within the European Union, particularly due to its firm stance against the ICC\u2019s policies.<\/p>\nInternational Criminal Court in The Hague | Photo: Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The planned visit is expected to take place in the coming weeks and will be Netanyahu\u2019s first visit to Europe since the warrant was issued. Hungary, considered one of Israel\u2019s closest allies in the European Union, continues to serve as a strategic partner, defending Israel\u2019s positions on the international stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
