The Left attacks the Israeli government for political reasons

2023. 03. 20.

The European Parliament held a debate on the state of democracy in Israel during its plenary session in Strasbourg on Tuesday. MEP Kinga Gál pointed out that the left does not respect the results of the democratic elections and attacks the Israeli government on political grounds, just as it does in the case of Hungary. She stressed that the current Israeli Prime Minister deserves recognition for his efforts for stability in the Middle East.

MEP Kinga Gál said that the attacks on the Israeli government showed once again that the left-wing forces did not respect the will of the majority of the electorate and the outcome of the democratic elections. “The left is attacking Israel on the same political basis as it is attacking Hungary,” she said, referring to the criticisms of the Israeli government.

MEP Kinga Gál underlined that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has done a lot to bring peace between Israel and the Arab countries by concluding the Abraham Accords, for which he deserves recognition. She stressed that the stability of the Middle East region is of key importance for Hungary and Europe, as instability leads to an increased threat of terrorism and illegal migration flows.
