The evacuated Hungarians are now safe, Péter Szijjártó informed on Sunday evening.
In the framework of a joint rescue operation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Ministry of Defence, two Hungarian Air Force planes with 215 people on board have left Israeli airspace and are now flying safely towards Hungary, Péter Szijjártó said on his Facebook page on Sunday evening.
The Foreign Minister stressed that during the armed conflict in Israel,
one of their most important tasks is to bring the Hungarian people in danger home as soon as possible.
As always, we will only provide information about such operations once the people involved are safe.
– the minister stressed. „We thank the authorities of Israel, Cyprus, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania for their cooperation in quickly issuing the necessary permits for the flight,” Szijjártó said.
