Viktor Orban

Hungary's state television suspended its news broadcasts and aired an on-screen apology after the new government replaced the broadcaster's leadership.

Peter Magyar says he won’t automatically block EU decisions on Israel, promises zero tolerance for antisemitism, and plans to rejoin the International Criminal Court; Netanyahu congratulates him and thanks outgoing Viktor Orban.

A political earthquake in Hungary: the opposition led by Peter Magyar wins 138 of 199 seats—more than two-thirds—ending Viktor Orbán’s 16-year rule. The former prime minister concedes: "We will continue to serve our homeland and the Hungarian people even from the opposition... 2.5 million voters will not be abandoned. We never give up."

An intercepted call reveals Hungary’s foreign minister promised to share all intelligence after Israel’s pager operation targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon—an awkward twist given Budapest’s close ties to Israel and the U.S.
