Israeli official Chikli met Austria's Freedom Party (FPÖ), prompting questions about whether Israel's boycott of the party has ended. The Jerusalem Post reported that the FPÖ's first leader, Anton Reinthaller, was a senior Nazi official, and his successor, Friedrich Peter, served in an SS unit. The meeting revives debate over Israel's long-standing refusal to engage with a party with Nazi-linked origins. The Jerusalem Post framed the encounter as a possible turning point in that policy.
