It's kinda hard to assess what Netanyahu's visit was about.
He visited the shoes at the Danube ofc, Holocaust is always part of the ritual, and I assume he met the representatives of various Jewish/Israelite communities of the Hungary, I did found any mentions in the news about this, but it feels like a given.
Articles write about a phone call, between him, Orbán, and Trump, and they note he flew straight to Washington from here, to talk about the new tariffs of Trump.
But here he gave a speech at a university, talked to Orbán, and met with our foreign minister with his delegation.
What were the topics? Beyond our exit from the International Criminal Court.
Economy and security for sure. As Bibi said: Israel needed a strong economy and strong military to stay alive.
I heard/read mentions about car industry, Israeli companies on the Hungary and the thousands of jobs they offer, and tourism.
As for security, Szijjártó, our foreign minister, said that security is a technological challenge these days. No details. So here's couple of assumptions:
I assume our govt. buys more snoop tech from Israel and will use it against Hungarian population in the name of "rising anti-semitism in Europe cause by illegal migration". After all they were the ones who acquired and used a spyware Pegasus by NSO Group to wiretap journalists, businessmen and related persons.
Just recently, a month ago perhaps, bomb threats were sent to over 250 schools in email. Long drivel about Allah and such. I'm sure they want to read emails and check logins and whatever.
And ofc we have to remember the explosives beepers were assembled on the Hungary...
Lotsa stuff to cooperate about in the future. I'm sure these things will get more ridiculous by the day.

One thing have to be noted.
This political alignment of conservative populist leaders. A French news source pointed out that both Orbán and Bibi are looking for allies, since both are fairly isolated. And for sure the "right wingers, unite" tune is popular these days. Trump rounding up the Trio. We host a CPAC conference in each year now. And within the EU too, see the formation of the Patriots group the European Parliament. And all these "hardliner" "far-right" parties are very much anti-muslim, anti-immigrant, but pro-Israel types. But I don't see how the other arm of the horseshoe, the leftists and liberals are against Israel, beyond lukewarm sympathy towards the Palestinians. Not Sholz, nor Macron would arrest Bibi if he visited their country.
