On April 21, 2020, the American Jewish Committee (AJC) hosted a virtual conversation between Ambassador Martin Weiss in Washington, DC and AJC CEO David Harris in New York.
The Ambassador spoke about Austria’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, the importance of strict measures, Austria’s “road map” to re-open the economy, and the close cooperation between Austrian and Israeli government leaders in the fight against the pandemic.
Ambassador Weiss also shared his experiences as former Austrian Ambassador to Israel and answered questions submitted by the audience on Austria’s special relationship with Israel and the Jewish people, its leading role among European nations in the fight against anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism, and the excellent development of Austrian-Israeli relations in recent years.
The conversation was livestreamed on AJC’s digital platform Advocacy Anywhere and can be fully watched here
