Austrian FPÖ pivots to pro-Israel stance, vows to move embassy to Jerusalem

FPÖ leader Kickl and his EU representative publicly praise Israeli settlers, pledge to relocate Austria's embassy to Jerusalem, and criticize the Vienna Jewish Community. This marks a sharp reversal from the party's historical pro-Russian, anti-Israel alignment, signaling a potential shift in Austrian foreign policy if the FPÖ gains power. The move is likely to strain relations with the EU and Palestinian authorities, and raises questions about domestic political calculations ahead of elections.
