Austria’s Kurz says he respects Israel’s decision to boycott Freedom Party
Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz addresses the Israeli boycott of his coalition partner, the far-right Freedom Party, saying he respects Israel’s decision.
“I don’t see this as a boycott, but rather that there are reservations about the Freedom Party,” Kurz tells Channel 10 in the interview.
He said the Freedom Party, which has Nazi roots, is working to deal with its past.
“It renounces every type of anti-Semitism and together we’re leading in the government a very pro-Israel line,” he says.
