TEL AVIV — The recent electoral victory of the far-right Alternative for Germany party in Saxony-Anhalt is causing a ripple of concern among Israeli officials. This marks the first time a far-right party has secured a state election win in Germany since World War II, noted a Jewish group.
Amichai Chikli, Israel’s minister of diaspora affairs and combating antisemitism, has been involved with far-right parties in Europe, yet he has maintained distance regarding Germany and Austria. This selective engagement is telling of the complex relationships Israel holds with the European right.
While some in Israel voice worries over the implications of such political gains in Germany, others opt for silence on the matter. This reflects the multifaceted engagement strategy of the Israeli government as it navigates its ties with European right-wing entities. The situation underscores the significant diplomatic balancing act Israel faces amidst rising far-right influence in Europe.
