What Orban's exit means for the future of EU-Israel relations

“I don't think the fall of Orban will lead to an immediate change in EU policy towards Israel, because it still has other countries more or less on its side (though perhaps not to the extent of inviting Netanyahu to visit and defying the ICC),” Ian Bond, Deputy Director of the European Centre for Reform and former senior British diplomat, told The New Arab.

...“I think Israel is meeting more criticism in Europe, including from traditional friends like Germany,” said Ian Bond.

“Netanyahu's close alignment with Trump is also damaging Israel's standing: even populist parties in Europe are trying to put some distance between themselves and Trump, and that may have an impact on how vocal they feel they can be in their support for Trump’s closest international ally.”
