Austria's Kurtz to Netanyahu: I'm committed to fighting antisemitism
The chancellor briefed Netanyahu on the steps taken by the Austrian government and parliament to reflect their appreciation of the Jewish community, the memory of the Holocaust and the struggle against antisemitism, including the closure of the journal Die Aula, which is associated with the far-right Freedom Party of Austria.
The chancellor said Austria is committed to fighting antisemitism, not only in its own country but throughout Europe, and that he intends to urge the leaders of the European Union to fight antisemitism, as reported Thursday by The Jerusalem Post’s sister publication Maariv.
