Increased danger
More soldiers to protect Jewish institutions
The government is stepping up the protection of Jewish institutions. 50 additional soldiers will be deployed, announced Defense Minister Klaudia Tanner (ÖVP) in a press release on Saturday. The protection of the Jewish community is a high priority due to the increased threat level. Additional measures have been in place in consultation with the Jewish religious community since the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel last fall.
The Jewish community in Austria has a reliable partner in the federal government, emphasizes Federal Chancellor Karl Nehammer (ÖVP). Anti-Semitic harassment, assaults or attacks on Jewish institutions would not be accepted and would be punished with the utmost determination. Interior Minister Gerhard Karner (ÖVP) emphasized that the high level of protection would be further strengthened.
Nehammer had met with representatives of the Jewish Community the day before. Together with Constitutional Minister Karoline Edtstadler (both ÖVP), he condemned the increasing number of anti-Semitic attacks.
