Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu participated this week in a videoconference of heads of state hosted by Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz. He was joined by Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis.
The Jan. 18 meeting was the sixth of its kind. The forum was founded last April by Kurz to share best practices in fighting the coronavirus pandemic, with the intention of including countries that dealt succesfully with the first coronavirus wave. Netanyahu has been supportive of the Austrian initiative since its beginning.
