Could Orbán just be bait in the whole UN story? – Times sources have put together a scenario

Lana Nusseibeh, a diplomat from the UAE, is seen as a viable candidate for the UN leadership amid geopolitical tensions. Orbán Viktor's close ties with the White House could create divisions among European states, while France and the UK are likely to veto his nomination. Nusseibeh, a deputy foreign minister and special envoy, is considered a more acceptable alternative due to her educational background and her country's strategic partnership with the US.
