The Government condemns the act of terrorism committed in the city of Al-Arish on 24 November 2017, which according to the information available has claimed at least 200 lives and injured 125 people, in the strongest possible terms. We hereby express our condolences to the families of the victims and wish the injured a speedy recovery.

The Hungarian Government is highly appreciative of the Egyptian security forces’ fight against terrorism and is providing all possible instruments in support of their efforts, and assures the people of Egypt of its support.

Terrorism has no religion or homeland, and accordingly it is the enemy of Christians, Muslims and all peace-loving peoples.
