Új Kelet (Hungarian translation: "New East") is a Zionist newspaper in the Hungarian language which first appeared in Kolozsvár (Cluj), Transylvania, and was later revived in Tel Aviv.
On the initiative of Chajjim Weiszburg, a leader of the Zionist movement, Uj Kelet was launched as a weekly on December 19, 1918. It become a daily in 1920. The first editor was Béla Székely, who was succeeded in 1919 by E. Marton.
From 1927 until the end of its Transylvanian period, the editor was Ferenc Jámbor. After the Hungarian annexation of Cluj in 1940, the regime banned the paper because of its strong Zionist line. Marton emigrated to Eretz Israel after World War II, and in 1948 the paper reappeared under his editorship in Tel Aviv.
