International efforts to achieve long-term peace in the Middle East have often been marked by deeply sensitive proposals that spark global debate.
As tensions persist, nations look to unconventional approaches and experienced mediators to navigate complex geopolitical challenges.
Hungary has become the first EU country to back an initiative by U.S. President Donald Trump to relocate Palestinians from Gaza, as reported by Digi24.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto acknowledged the challenges of implementing the plan but expressed trust in Trump’s negotiation abilities.
"Everyone knows President Trump can make deals," Szijjarto told Fox News, mentioning Trump's communications with leaders in Jordan and Egypt.
"When it comes to President Trump, I wouldn’t rule anything out," he added, pointing to the success of the Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations during Trump’s previous term.
Hungary's Interest in Middle East Stability
Szijjarto emphasized Hungary’s commitment to supporting solutions that bring stability to the Middle East.
He noted that peace in the region is among the world’s most difficult challenges, with each proposal eliciting strong reactions.
Despite uncertainties surrounding the Palestinian relocation plan, Szijjarto stressed that Trump’s past achievements suggest it should not be dismissed outright.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban also warned the EU of the political shifts likely to follow Trump’s return to power, calling it the "Trump tornado."
Orban's remarks followed a recent EU summit where European leaders discussed potential policy impacts stemming from Trump's early executive actions since reassuming office.
Orban urged the EU to prepare for turbulent times ahead, noting that while some leaders believe they can avoid Trump’s influence, "they cannot."
