The Israeli flag is flying on official buildings in Austria today in a sign of "solidarity".

"I condemn with the utmost firmness the attacks against Israel from the Gaza Strip," conservative Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said in a statement to the AFP news agency.

"Israel has the right to defend itself against these attacks. To show our solidarity ... we have put up the Israeli flag," on the chancellery and the foreign ministry, the statement added.

"Nothing justifies the more than 1,000 rockets that Hamas and other terrorist groups have fired up to now at Israel from Gaza," said Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg.

"We strongly support the security of Israel."

In 2000, Israel recalled its ambassador to Austria after the far-right FPOe - a party founded by former Nazis - joined a coalition government.

Relations have much improved since then and Kurz has made solidifying relations with Israel a priority.

Since time of Egypt as first world power, Israel has been at centre of conflict in international struggle. Assyria, Babylon, Persia( now( iran), Greek, and Rome had some relationship with Israel, negative or positive. US/UK is having another relationship with Israel.

Well, whatever may come out from it. I still believe what the bible says must surely come to pass. Israel will still be surrounded by armies one more time at the end of time.
