Austrian leader meets Israeli envoy, says government committed to stronger ties
Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz meets with Talya Lador, Israel’s envoy to Vienna, a day after his conservative party’s coalition with the far-right Freedom Party was sworn in.
In a trio of tweets, Kurz says his government is committed to strengthening ties with Israel and that he looks forward to meeting with Netanyahu.
He also says his government is working on offering Austrian citizenship to Holocaust survivors.

Unser Regierungsprogramm sieht vor, Nachkommen von Opfern der Nationalsozialisten die Staatsbürgerschaft anzubieten. Ich freue mich auf den weiteren engen Austausch, auch mit @IsraeliPM #Netanyahu. @IsraelinAustria 3/3 pic.twitter.com/OHxQbHDpNa
