Hamas is designated a terrorist organisation by Israel, the United States, European Union, Canada, Egypt and Japan.
"It is shocking that there are sympathy rallies supporting the terrorists across Europe," Orban said, referencing the European fallout from the Hamas attack on Israel.
"But we will not allow sympathy rallies supporting terrorist organisations as that would entail a terror threat to Hungarian citizens."
