Lapid and visiting Austrian chancellor sign strategic partnership, discuss Iran threat

Prime Minister Yair Lapid meets visiting Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer, with the premier saying the two countries have signed a “comprehensive strategic partnership” on security, cyber matters, health and pandemic response, tourism, climate crisis action, trade and more.

During the Jerusalem meeting, Lapid says the leaders discussed deepening collaboration on combating antisemitism and on preserving the memory of the Holocaust.

“Additionally, we discussed the security challenges and relevant regional issues, chief among them the Iranian threat,” Lapid tweets. “I stressed to the chancellor the importance of international opposition to the [nuclear] deal, and Israel’s fear of Iran’s continued nuclear armament.”
