Vienna is hosting an international parliamentary conference on antisemitism, aiming to build a global alliance against rising antisemitic trends.
The conference, initiated by National Council President Wolfgang Sobotka, will address the situation of Jewish communities in Europe and the Middle East conflict.
Security is a top priority, with 360 police officers deployed to ensure the safety of participants amid announced pro-Palestinian protests.
The protests, which have been a recurring theme in Vienna, highlight the city's ongoing struggle with antisemitic sentiments.
Despite heightened security measures, the conference seeks to foster dialogue and solutions to combat antisemitism, a growing concern in Austria and beyond.
