Austria’s Kurz: ‘Absolutely unacceptable’ to question Israel’s right to exist

Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz says he considers it “absolutely unacceptable” to question the right of Israel to exist or call for the state’s destruction.

He makes the comment at a joint press conference in Vienna alongside Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani. Iran’s leaders regularly rail against Israel’s existence and call for the Jewish state’s destruction.
