    Austrian chancellor coming next month

    Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurtz will arrive in Israel at the beginning of June.

    Kurtz, 31, was sharply criticized by the Israeli government after deciding to form a coalition with the "Freedom Party" accused of anti-Semitism and neo-Nazi roots after the last elections in Austria. He also appointed Freedom Party leader Heinz-Christian Strache to the position of Vice Chancellor.
