Why Israel is joining hands with Europe's far right
Middle East Eye • 2/24/2026
Summary
Israel is forming alliances with Europe's far-right movements, which previously promoted conspiracy theories about a global Jewish conspiracy, but are now focusing their rhetoric on Islam. This shift in relations contrasts with the past, notably when Jorg Haider's far-right Freedom Party of Austria (FPO) gained prominence in 1999, leading to diplomatic sanctions from other EU member states and a ban on Haider's entry to Israel.
