ZOA Condemns Hungary for 'Disgraceful' Pact with Iran

By Mark Swanson

(February 23, 2024) Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó was in Tehran this week to sign a bilateral agreement that will develop economic cooperation between the countries, a move that earned the surprise of security analysts in the West and the scorn of the top pro-Israel organization in the U.S.


Szijjártó and Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian held a joint press conference in Tehran on Thursday to announce the deal, one that Zionist Organization of America President Morton Klein said should be rescinded immediately.


"For Hungary, who’s always been a strong supporter of Israel, it's both shocking and disgraceful," Klein told Newsmax. "No civilized nation on earth should be dealing with Iran and shouldn't be increasing the wealth of Iran. It endangers America, Israel, Europe, and South America."


Klein called Hungary's move "astonishing" after Hamas' attack on Israel on Oct. 7 that launched a war. Israel has linked Iran to the attacks that killed more than 1,400 Israelis in the most devastating single-day strike against them.


"It's a disgrace Hungary would do this," Klein said. "I strongly urge [Prime Minister Viktor] Orban and Hungary to immediately rescind this agreement."


Szijjártó also entered into a new economic pact with Amir-Abdollahian despite Iran supplying arms to Russia in its war against Ukraine.

Szijjártó said he "forgot" that Tehran supplies Russia with weapons despite the report that Iran sent Russia several hundred ballistic missiles just before Szijjártó's visit.

Iran is also one of the most sanctioned countries in the world.

"Iran is the most evil and dangerous country on the face of the earth and Hungary should not be doing business with them," Klein told Newsmax.
