Austrian election winner Sebastian Kurz says he will demand a clear stance against anti-Semitism from potential coalition partners in the government the conservative politician is set to form, an Israeli paper reported Tuesday.
The 31-year-old made the comments in an interview with Israel Hayom newspaper as Austria's far-right looked set for a possible return to power in a coalition with Kurz.
The battle against anti-Semitism and our policy of zero tolerance against all anti-Semitic tendencies is very important to me, Kurz told the right-wing newspaper that firmly backs Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It is a clear pre-condition for the formation of any coalition under my leadership.
