Greece: Jews worried over far-left elections win


Via Artuz7:
The leftist and anti-austerity Syriza party has won the elections in Greece, international media reported Sunday, taking some 35-38% of the final votes, according to exit polls.

The win signals a reversal for the Greek government, as the ruling New Democratic Party came in distant second with 26-28% of the vote, according to BBC.

In third is the Neo-Nazi 'Golden Dawn' party, with 6.4-8% of the Greek vote.

The Jewish community in Greece has already raised some alarm over the developments. Leaders say that the relationship between Israel and Greece could be at stake.

"No doubt we will see a big change in the state of diplomatic relations between Greece and Israel, as well as the situation in Greece," a Jewish community member stated to Arutz Sheva Sunday on condition of anonymity.
