#Austria / Israeli Ambassador suggests executing Palestinian minors, downplays civilian deaths in Gaza
David Roet, Israel's ambassador to Austria, was secretly recorded during a meeting with Jewish community representatives in #Innsbruck, suggesting the execution of Palestinian minors involved in armed conflict. He dismissed concerns over civilian casualties in Gaza (over 50,000 Palestinians have been killed and 113,000 wounded since Israel's revenge war on Gaza began). The ambassador also questioned European investment in Gaza's reconstruction, implying it would be destroyed again.
[...] "I felt sickened by the calm in Mr. Roet's voice," says the activist who took the video. "No one intervened when Roet suggested the death penalty for children."

[cont'd] additional information about the content of the video:
According to the article in German shared by https://mastodon.social/@Gerd_Brodowski/114216573364425541
Roet also discusses various potential options for controlling Gaza after #Hamas. More importantly, like the Middle East Eye reported, he mentions his close relationship with Austrian Chancellor Christian Stocker (ÖVP), claiming the Israeli embassy has a privileged position and direct communication with him.
The #ÖVP has been criticized for governing in some states alongside the Freedom Party (#FPÖ) following an increase in anti-Semitic incidents (the FPÖ was founded in 1956 by Anton Reinthaller, a former Nazi SS officer).
The Jewish Anti-Zionist Initiative Austria (#JAIÖ) published the video, noting it was recorded two days after Israel broke a ceasefire on March 18, resulting in over 700 deaths. https://www.juedisch-antizionistisch.at/en
