Budapest, Hungary – Former U.S. Deputy Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism, Ellie Cohanim, spoke at the “Peace Through Strength: The World Aligns With Trump and Hungary” conference in Budapest, commending Hungary’s firm stance against antisemitism and its rejection of the European Union’s migration policies.
The conference, organized by the Center for Fundamental Rights (Alapjogokért Központ), brought together conservative thought leaders and policymakers to discuss security, sovereignty, and international alliances. Cohanim highlighted Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s strong policies, asserting that Hungary has become a role model in ensuring the safety of Jewish communities by resisting what she termed the EU’s “suicidal” migration policies.
“Europe must understand that when they import migrants from countries in the Middle East & North Africa, where society indoctrinates people to hate Jews, then essentially Europe has imported antisemitism onto its shores,” Cohanim stated in an interview on Hungarian Public Television Channel 1.
She also underscored the importance of U.S.-Hungary relations, emphasizing that Hungary remains a valued ally of both the United States and Israel.
During her speech, Cohanim praised the Trump administration’s foreign policies regarding Israel and Gaza, stating that there will be “no return to the failed foreign policy formulas of previous administrations.” She expressed confidence in former President Donald Trump’s ability to bring peace and an end to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, emphasizing his commitment to stopping the “endless killing.”
Cohanim extended her gratitude to the Center for Fundamental Rights and its Director General, Miklós Szánthó, for the invitation, acknowledging the organization’s dedication to conservative values encapsulated in their motto: “God, Homeland, Family.”
The event reaffirmed Hungary’s position as a staunch defender of national sovereignty and a crucial partner in the global fight against antisemitism. As discussions on European security and migration policies continue, Cohanim’s remarks signal ongoing support for Hungary’s approach from conservative policymakers in the United States.
