According to all polls, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is expected to lose Sunday’s election to his rival Péter Magyar.

Magyar is a center-right candidate. The concern for Israel lies in his campaign promise to secure $15 billion in EU funding for Hungary. To do so, he would need to align with Brussels. This would likely mean the end of Hungary’s veto on decisions targeting Israel.

As a result, Israel could lose its last line of defense in the EU against sanctions, which require unanimity among all 27 member states. Hungary’s vote has repeatedly blocked such initiatives, and that protection could now disappear.

On a subsequent post on Wednesday, Ghamari said she had been contacted by Ottawa Police and “told if I don’t delete my X posts where I say Mosques in Occupied Iran are hubs of terrorism and should be bombed, I would be charged under the Criminal Code of Canada.”
