In 1932, Horthy appointed Gömbös prime minister; Gömbös, in turn, acceded to Horthy's urging not to seek new elections.
Upon taking office, Gömbös publicly recanted his previous antipathy to Jews.
The country's Jewish political leadership under Bela Szanto supported the appointment of Gömbös and his programs in exchange for Gömbös promising not to enact any racially motivated laws, and not to cause economic harm to the Jews through his general policies.
These promises Gömbös kept.

As prime minister, Gömbös was very active in international affairs, seeking support for revising the Treaty of Trianon and pursuing trade deals aimed at reviving the Depression-afflicted economy.
One of his major goals was to align Hungary into an Axis with Italy and Austria.
In 1933, Gömbös flew to Italy and visited Benito Mussolini.
Mussolini conveyed to Gömbös his approval regarding the revision of the Treaty of Trianon.
Also, Mussolini promised Gömbös Italy’s aid if Hungary went to war with Yugoslavia and Romania in an attempt to regain Hungary’s former territory from those nations.

Gömbös also formed, with rather greater reluctance, an alliance with Germany.
When Hitler became Chancellor, Gömbös was the first foreign head of government to visit the Nazi leader.
Shortly after, Gömbös signed a major trade agreement with Germany, doing so in the hope of reducing Hungary's unemployment rate as the 1930s progressed.

This amity, though, failed to endure.
Not only did Hitler consider Gömbös to be far too pro-Jewish, but he made it clear to Gömbös that his support of Hungary had a price.
While the German dictator voiced willingness to take Hungary's side in any effort that Hungary carried out to regain land from Czechoslovakia, he would not support Hungary against the territorial ambitions of either Romania or Yugoslavia.
Unlike Mussolini, Hitler also resented Gömbös’ plans to expand the size and power of the Hungarian military.
