any deficits that might accrue from the economy in Israel being targeted will probably be made up for by the United States.

Now, it's extraordinary that when we do reporting on the flotillas and the reaction of Israel and so on, a huge number of people who text in seem to be on the side of the Israelis.

Israeli illegal actions reflotilla was unacceptable.

But let's stop this nonsense that they were trying to get aid to Gaza.

They were looking for media and political attention and knew what was going to happen.

100% success rate in achieving their aims.

Ben-Gavir also achieved his aims, read the flotilla, playing to his extreme right-wing audience.

Another one, the anti-Israeli flotilla members get a free ride, nothing but virtually signaling narcissistic Hamas-loving circus.

And then a final one for the moment.

What does it say when the EU does not, as a group, agree with our obsessive focus on Israel?

And that's really one for you, Barry, the question of Ireland being singled out as having an obsession with Israel's behavior and the rest of Europe being less concerned.

Thank you very much, Barry, for joining us.

I'm now joined by Shona Murray, who's Europe correspondent with Euronews.

Shona, Victor Orban's 16-year reign in Budapest has come to an end.

How big was the defeat?

And in terms of the new or the incoming Prime Minister, Peter Magyar, what do we know about him?

So given Orbán's connections with Europe being fractious, I mean, obviously he vetoed or has vetoed this loan, this 90 billion euro loan to Ukraine, obviously his relations with the Kremlin, etc., that have been in the spotlight.

So where does this leave those future relations?

I mean, where does Maillard kind of see himself in relation to Moscow?
