Israel has lifted its diplomatic ban on three far-right European political parties, including France's National Rally, Sweden's Sweden Democrats, and Spain's VOX, while maintaining its embargo on Austria's Freedom Party and Germany's Alternative for Germany (AfD). The decision was based on a thorough review of the parties' positions on Israel, antisemitism, and Holocaust denial. Israel is focusing on the parties' current actions and whether they are distancing themselves from any antisemitic rhetoric. The ban on the AfD and Austria's Freedom Party remains in place due to insufficient efforts to distance themselves from antisemitic elements.
