The SD's press department confirms the information to Expressen.

Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has, according to the Israeli newspaper, ordered an investigation into how the French far-right party National Front, the right-wing populist party Vox in Spain, and the Sweden Democrats relate to a number of issues.

It concerns, among other things, their support for Israel and their relationship with the Jewish minorities in the countries, to anti-Semitism and their rejection of a Nazi past.

After the investigation, Saar has instructed Israel's embassies in the three countries to initiate a dialogue and to inform Jewish organizations about it.

The German Alternative for Germany and the Freedom Party in Austria were also included in the discussions, but Israel is not changing its stance on these.
