The situation in Israel remains “extremely worrying”, with some areas practically in a state of war, Szijjarto said, according to a foreign ministry statement.
The Hungarian government’s top priority in such a situation is to ensure the safety of Hungarians, he said.
The government has established contact with hundreds of people, 215 of whom were evacuated on two aircraft of the Hungarian Air Force last night, he said. One plane then returned to Tel Aviv to rescue 110 more people, he added.
All Hungarians who have asked for assistance in returning home have landed in Hungary or are en route home, with the third flight having recently left Israel’s airspace, Szijjarto said.
Altogether 310 of those evacuated are Hungarians and 15 of them foreign nationals, among them Israeli, Swedish, German, British, Austrian and Portuguese citizens, he said. Fully 46 of those rescued are children, he added.

Extraction of nationals could well become a matter of urgency. It is possible that Iran, Syria and Lebanon could declare war on Israel to take pressure off Hamas. And our military strength is at a serious low-point. Plus our military leadership and White house is the worst in history.
I’ll bet all the rescued people were hungary.
did they have room for the Americans?
I’m of Hungarian ancestry. Their actions make me proud. As an American, Biden’s response embarrasses me.
What's OUR Air Force doing, besides working on being WOKE?
👊
I wish I could speak conversational Hungarian.
I might do the same thing.
Hungarian is a very difficult language to learn. Here’s an old joke about that:
Rosetta Stone has just released a Hungarian course. It comes on two discs.
The second disc is the actual course. The first disc tries to talk you out of it.
As xiden tells Americans to book their own non-existent flights. Great, we take a backseat to Hungarians.
Orbn for President? Of the United States?
As soon as they get through with the drag queen show and LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ crap they may let you know.
That's no joke.
“Doing the jobs that the American Joetato won’t do.”
I’d take advantage of that “advantage” as soon as possible.
We don’t. We don’t. We don’t mess around.
Thats what I meant
No problem, it could just have been “fat fingers” he heck I do it all the time.
Amen. A glimmer of reason and dignity.
