In his speech, Dr. István Mészáros, former vice president of the Human Rights Committee of the Hungarian Parliament referred to the Gazan rocket-attacks as a „brutal series of actions that signal in itself, that jihadist death-sects like Hamas or the Palestinian Islamic Jihad are only looking for the opportunity to operate their own death camps.”
