Sceptics also highlight the contrast between Netanyahu’s endorsement of Orban’s claims to have “zero tolerance” of antisemitism and the recent award of state honours to two prominent writers known for their antisemitic views. This builds on Orban’s own use of antisemitic tropes when referencing the Hungarian-born philanthropist George Soros.
