Germany's far-right AfD party wins regional elections, while the left-wing BSW party rises, posing new challenges for Israel's relationship with its European ally and the Jewish community. The AfD's victory marks a significant shift towards right-wing populism, raising concerns internationally. The emergence of the BSW, a left-wing populist party, alongside the AfD's growth, threatens Israel's interests and Germany's Jewish communities. Israel must navigate a changing political landscape and balance its defense of interests with maintaining crucial diplomatic relations. The rise of these parties requires careful consideration and vigilance from Israel.
