Authentication of a Hungarian public document - Apostille
Hungary and Israel are signatories to the "Hague Convention" - Apostille (1961) which discusses the cancellation of the authentication requirement for public foreign documents. This convention shortens the procedures required to verify official documents issued by the state authorities.
The list of countries that have signed the Hague Convention can be found at the following link.
