At a joint press conference with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in Budapest on Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel and Hungary are "fighting a similar battle" for the future of their common Judeo-Christian, Western civilisation.
Netanyahu said this civilisation was currently under assault by radical Islam, spearheaded by Iran as a "pulsating engine".
"We will smash the Iranian terror axis, which threatens not only us, but Europe," Netanyahu said, adding that the Hungarian Prime Minister understood that this was "a common battle for our values, our interests and for our common security".
