Mr Soros has spent large amounts of money funding pro-democracy and human rights groups and has been a target for Hungary’s government, largely because of his support for open immigration.

Prime Minister Viktor Orban has backed a campaign claiming Soros is a threat, which features posters with the words “Let’s not allow Soros to have the last laugh”.

Israel’s ambassador to Hungary initially issued a statement denouncing the campaign.
