The Austrian Greens don't support Palestinian statehood? What kind of right-wing GINOs are they?!

No, they do - in general. But they prefer to be a peace deal ahead of recognition, because they fear that otherwise it could further destabalize the situation there between ISR and PAL.

That's what I read out of their policy standpoint:
