Austria says it will be suspending aid to Palestinians, which amounts to around $20m, following the attacks on Israel which started on Saturday morning.
"The extent of the terror is so horrific ... that we cannot go back to business as usual. We will therefore put all payments from Austrian development cooperation on ice for the time being," Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg told ORF radio in comments confirmed by a spokeswoman.
