EU Anticipates Shift in Hungary's Stance on Settler Sanctions After Orbán's Departure

 EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas expressed optimism Monday that Hungary could adopt a new approach regarding sanctions on Israeli settlers involved in West Bank violence. Kallas noted that the imminent political change in Budapest following Viktor Orbán's electoral loss might end Hungary's obstruction of European consensus. She emphasized that the EU looks forward to reviewing previous policies to ensure compliance with international law amidst the accelerated settlement expansion of 2026.
