On Tuesday, at a gala dinner in Vienna’s Natural History Museum, co-hosted by the Chancellor and the European Jewish Congress, EJC President Dr. Moshe Kantor awarded the ‘Navigator of Jerusalem’ Prize to Chancellor Sebastian Kurz for his commitment to the issues of anti-Semitism and Jewish security, and for ensuring these are among the priorities of his leadership.
“Chancellor Kurz did not shy away from historical truth, and has proven to be a person of principles, vision and a true friend of the Jewish people.” Dr. Kantor said.
“We are delighted that Austria-Israel relations are blossoming today under the Chancellor’s leadership, especially when he declared that Israel’s security is a raison d’être for Austria. For these reasons, we are presenting the European Jewish Congress’ Navigator to Jerusalem Award,” Kantor added.
