Besonders schmerzhaft ist, dass diese Tat ausgerechnet an #YomKippur geschah, einem der höchsten jüdischen Feiertage. Antisemitische Übergriffe nehmen in ganz Europa zu – wir dürfen das nicht hinnehmen und müssen ihnen entschlossen entgegentreten. 2️⃣

Verlieren wir den Kampf gegen Antisemitismus, verlieren wir uns selbst.
Ich bin zutiefst schockiert über den antisemitisch motivierten Anschlag in #Manchester. Hass gegen Jüdinnen und Juden darf in unserer Gesellschaft niemals Platz finden. 1️⃣

We had the pleasure of welcoming Premier League footballer and Austrian National Team player Kevin Danso to the Embassy

From stadiums to embassies, Kevin's story reminds us that sport is more than competition – it’s a powerful form of cultural connection that can build bridges far beyond the pitch.

80 years ago, the #UNCharter was signed. It marked the beginning of a new world order based on int’l law & cooperation, where might does not make right but where the rule of law prevails.
In times like these, the #UNCharter should remain our guiding beacon of hope, more than ever.
