Israel Shifts Right Due to Friendships and Criticisms
Israel is working to strengthen its rapprochement with the European far-right, despite the histories of some of these parties involving anti-Semitism, in an effort to counter its increasing international isolation following the Gaza war. The Israeli government, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, intends to deepen its ties with far-right parties in France, Sweden, Spain, and the United Kingdom, focusing on shared concerns regarding Islam and immigration, with the exception of the Alternative for Germany (AfD). This approach aims to balance internal and external criticisms and raises fears about its potential impact on Jewish values and Israel's relationships with Jewish communities across Europe. Despite the criticism, engagement with the far-right remains a part of Israel's strategy, especially amid the political tensions across Europe.
