Hungarian Air Force rescues 325 people from Israel
Budapest Times ^ | October 9, 2023 | BT/MTI

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.

What? You mean advising your citizens that it’s “every man for himself” is not adequate?

Meanwhile, Biden tells American citizens in Israel to book their own flights home.
No matter that commercial airlines have cancelled service there.

Note to self: I am eligible for Hungarian citizenship because my grandparents were born there. I’ve got to get that paperwork in.

Hungary is pretty cool.

The US, on the other hand, is more like the Austro-Hungarian empire. In many ways.

Hungary to Hungarians in Israel: “We are coming to save you.”
Biden to Americans in Israel: “You are on your own.”
