Why did the Netanyahu Party be associated with the Orban and Le Penn Block
Two months ago, Patriots for Europe (or just the Patriots), the third largest group of MPs in the European Parliament, adopted « officially, unanimously and immediately » as an observer, the party of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. « There was certainly a manifestation of Hussar quality in the rapid and decisive merger of Licud with PFE, » wrote a Hungarian conservative edition, sympathetic to Fidesz and Victor Orban.
Why does the ruling party in Israel have chosen to bind by unification of some of the EU’s most European Party, including the Austrian Freedom Party, founded Anton Rainthaler, a longtime Nazi activist and a former deputy secretary of the Reich Ministry? And what does this have to do with the Hussars?
The idea of the « Patriots » emerged when Orban realized that after being forced to leave the European People’s Party, he did not want him in the group of European conservatives and reformists, where Italian Prime Minister Giorgie Meloni began to play a leading role. He then set up a new European family with the Austrian FPO (from the Group of Identity and Democracy) and the Czech Ano 2011 of former Prime Minister Andrei Babish (former members of the European Liberals).

The sum of 12 parties with a nationalist and sovereigntic profile (not to be confused with another group called the sovereigns, in which is the » Renaissance « ), represents
| The Hussar Attack is the title of the political guide presented in February 2024 on how Hungary should be held in international relations and, accordingly, how its state device to match this geopolitical mission. The book is by Balash Orban, who was the political director in Prime Minister Orban’s office, and since 2023 has headed the Institute for the formation of Hungary’s foreign policy strategy. |
In this guide, the Hussar attack is described as a fast, decisive, surprising and at the same time reckless and demanding skills for a complex maneuvering, an initiative, or action that risks everything in the name of Hungary to break away from the Western superpowers and follow its own connectivity strategy.
Therefore, Hungarian conservatives views Likud’s decision to enter as an observer in their European political group as confirming the success of such a strategy – the sanitary border, which many in the West speak, is torn torn; They are not very right nationalists, but are an example of reason in politics; Budapest is perceived as the only European capital with strong direct relations with the United States of Donald Trump, Russia, China, and already with Israel.
Hungary has announced its withdrawal from the International Criminal Court
Ideologically, from « Fidesz » connect this to the legacy of Vladimir (Zev) Zabotinski ((1880-1940), whom Likud itself cited as a key source of concepts for the party, called a society in Odessa, it itself defines as a liberal, but its cinnamism combines ideas for one « Elementary needs of every person such as food, shelter, clothing, opportunity to teach their children and to be treated with illness » must be provided by the state.
He does not become the leading figure in the Zionist movement, but now in Budapest they say that « he emphasized the individual’s value over that of the state, but also thought the nation was more important than even the individual » in a country of Jews.
This is where the Patriots are the real fighters with anti-Semitism in Europe and that the association of Licud « is important for the fate of our (Judeo-Christian) civilization. » The same was said this week in Budapest from both Orban and Benjamin Netanyahu at a briefing that did not practice the role of Hungary in killing hundreds of thousands of Jews during World War II and ended without the opportunity to ask journalists.
- Jean-Marie Le Pen, a longtime leader of the National Front in France, called the Holocaust « detail » of history. His daughter Marin Le Pen, who heads the party, named after a national sum, made efforts to be perceived as closer to the center, but in 2017 rejected France’s responsibility for sending thousands of local Jews to the Nazi death camps. Her argument was that the Vichy regime was not France, the real France was the overseas government in London.
- According to Profile Magazine, in February, negotiations for a new government in Vienna from the Freedom Party refused to include a text that is on the principle of Israel as a Jewish and Democratic State and Austria to avoid supporting initiatives and resolutions in international organizations contrary to this recognition.
Then why does Netanyahu enter these environments?
First of all, in order to somehow part of a party network with the presence in a dozen EU countries – in governments or the most popular in several of them. Thus, it can pursue its vision how the State of Israel and its society should look like, the war in Gaza and the Tehran axis in the region and for a new world order with a much greater role for nation-states and smaller in international institutions, as well as some elements and principles of international law. Netanyahu just chooses the strongest right group at the moment-in 2016, Likud was an observer in the group of European conservatives and reformists, because then it was the largest right opposition block in the European Parliament. The connection with this group has not been interrupted, just the status is different and keeps it Ariel Bulstein, the head of Likud’s external relations, who was in Madrid to accept the party as an observer from the Patriots. The other key figure is Amihai Kikli, Minister for the Jewish Diaspora.
The « Patriots » are also sharp critics of Islam and supporters of controversial theories such as that of the deliberate replacement of the Christian population in Europe. In essence, this is their agency against migration and there is nothing new to the declaration of Jerusalem of 2010 of far -right European parties. But in a specific way, this can be used as a pressure on national governments in Europe for a firmer policy towards Muslim countries, with which Israel is surrounded, and especially with radical Islam and archival Tehran of Ayatolas.
Thirdly, Netanyahu makes the possible maintenance and expand his ties with the solid conservative right in the Republican Party and the circle of Donald Trump and the construction of a new international network for cooperation. The same network is striving for different efficiency and other Patriots members and one of the tracking figures where it appears abroad and SS whom it meets in the United States is a mat is a mat. He is the president of the US Conservative Union, organizing major Conservative Conferences (CPAC) conferences, as has been in Budapest. They are always talking about the decline of the West because of the liberals and the left, about protecting at all costs of Christianity and the patriarchal system, against abortion, against Greta Tunberg, against green policies, for Black Lives Matter and Woke …
The same thing happened at a recent conference with Europeans in Israel. When Felix Klein, a leader of the fight against anti -Semitism in Germany, learned that they were going from far -right parties there, withdrew their consent to participate. Due to the presence of the leader of the « national collection » the same was the declared as a key lecturer Bernard-Henri Levy.
On Saturday, in Israel, they said Prime Minister Netanyahu was not coming home from Budapest, but was leaving for Washington to meet Donald Trump not only because of the duties that have to come into force on Wednesday.
