To mark the 75th anniversary of the founding of Israel, a panel discussion was held at the CPAC Hungary conference on Thursday.

Matan Peleg, CEO of Im Tirtzu (Israel), said the protests against judicial reform in Israel were similar to the situation that emerged after the election of US President Donald Trump in 2016. On Israel’s relationship with Hungary, he said that "difficult times are a test of true friendship, and Viktor Orbán has proven to be a true friend.”

Matan Peleg said the European Union is obsessed with condemning Israel. “Everything that Israel does, does not satisfy the EU. The only country on the continent that is doing everything to defend Israel and its right to self-defense in the EU and the UN is Hungary,” he stressed.

Gadi Taub, Senior Lecturer at the University of Jerusalem, spoke about how Hungary and Israel have been attacked by the “anti-democratic woke virus.” He added that both countries are under attack from self-styled rights lobbyists for being at the forefront of the global defense of conservatism.
