The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Hungary was shocked by the series of coordinated assassinations committed in Israel, which caused the death of eight people and wounded numerous others, some of them seriously.

The Ministry condemns forcefully these assassinations. We strongly believe that terrorist attacks do not serve the purpose of reconciliation, and escalate tensions in the region. The Ministry deeply hopes that further deterioration of the situation can be avoided, and efforts will continue to restart of the Israeli-Palestine peace negotiations with a view to reaching of a just and enduring peace.
