The embassy in Beirut is best positioned to assist Hungarian citizens who have registered for consular protection in the event of an emergency. The consular service urged Hungarians to leave the country while commercial flights are still available. Hungarian citizens are also advised to follow updates on the consular service website and to use the Konzinfo Travel mobile app for faster access to information. Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó reported that 426 Hungarians in Israel have registered for consular protection and are urged to contact the embassy in Tel Aviv or the Foreign Ministry’s call centre in case of distress.
