Israeli Activist Leads Delegation to Hungary Amidst Anti-Israel Rhetoric

Israeli advocacy activist Yosef Haddad announced he will lead an Israeli delegation to Hungary this Saturday, ahead of the national football team's match against Ireland. The delegation's purpose is to counter what Haddad describes as hostile and inflammatory statements made by the Irish team's coach, as well as other Irish players, who have referred to Israel's actions as 'genocide' and expressed opposition to the game. Haddad stated his intention to confront those inciting hatred directly and to counter false narratives. The trip aims to support the Israeli national team and present Israel's perspective amidst concerns of a hostile atmosphere and potential provocations in Hungary, where the match is scheduled to take place on Sunday evening. Haddad recently revealed he received death threats, allegedly from elements connected to the Iranian regime, which had previously placed him high on a list of hostile Israeli figures banned from contact with Iranian citizens. Haddad, who recently joined the political party 'Amcha Israel,' emphasized his commitment to Israel's cause above any political position. The delegation plans to hold advocacy events, conduct foreign media interviews, and engage in on-the-ground meetings.
