Anti-Semitism
In Hungary?

New York (JTA) —
Hungarian Prime Minister
Jozsef Antall was pressed
repeatedly during his state
visit here last week about
continuing reports of anti-
Semitic activity in his coun-
try.
Mr. Antall, whose father is
memorialized at the Yad
Vashem memorial in
Jerusalem for his work in
saving Jews during the
Holocaust, came out
forcefully against all forms
of anti- Semitism and said
reports of such activity had
been greatly exaggerated.
"I am glad to tell you that
there is no wave of anti-
t Semitism in Hungary that
could present any kind of
danger, and we have always
taken action whenever we
saw a current of anti-
t Semitism," he told a select
group of Jewish leaders here
Oct. 16 at a meeting hosted
by the American Jewish
Committee.
Likewise at a news con-
ference last week in Wash-
ington, the prime minister
said, "We are deeply con-
cerned by any form of anti-
Semitism" and have
"always taken any
necessary measures" to
combat it.
In his meeting with Jewish
leaders, Mr. Antall also
stressed Hungary's strong
ties with Israel and pledged
to ensure the safety and
promote the vitality of his
country's small Jewish
population, which is
estimated to number
100,000 out of a general
population of 10 million
strong.
But the prime minister
hinted that Hungary's grow-
ing economic problems could
lead to social unrest, which
could translate into anger
against the Jews. He said his
country potentially faces
enormous difficulties if there
is no injection of foreign
economic aid soon.

New Envoy
In Washington

Washington (JTA) —
Israel's new ambassador to
the United States, Zalman
Shoval, has taken up his
post in Washington,
although he has not yet for-
mally presented his creden-
tials to President Bush.
Mr. Shoval was a Likud
member of the Knesset when
he was named envoy to
Washington, succeeding
Moshe Arad, who had been
ambassador here since July
1987.
