He made this statement on his Facebook page.
Szijjártó emphasized that for the first time in a long while, the main topic of international meetings will not be the conflict in Ukraine but the situation in Israel.
“The terrorist attack on Israel has stunned international politics,” he wrote as he prepared for a meeting of foreign ministers from the Persian Gulf countries and the European Union.
The minister added that the new priority will be to prevent the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East. Arab countries in the Persian Gulf are expected to play a key role in this process.
