Hungary became on Tuesday the first European nation in decades to open a diplomatic mission to Israel in Jerusalem, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
The trade mission will be staffed by three Hungarian diplomats, Netanyahu said at a ribbon-cutting dedication ceremony. He said that the office is being opened only four weeks after Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban visited Israel and pledged to do so.
