The Schoenau ultimatum was a hostage-taking incident in Marchegg, Austria by the Palestinian militant group As-Sa'iqa in 1973. At the time Vienna was a transit point for Russian Jews, the largest population of Jews remaining in Europe. The Schoenau ultimatum focused attention away from Egyptian and Syrian military build-up and their planned attack that would come to be known as the Yom Kippur War.

㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
The Schoenau ultimatum was a 1973 hostage-taking of Soviet Jewish emigrants transiting Austria. Through 2015 the opening called it "a terrorist hostage-taking incident in Marchegg, Austria by the terrorist group As-Sa'iqa." Today's opening calls it "a hostage-taking incident... by the Palestinian militant group As-Sa'iqa," terror surviving 3 times in the body. A reader today learns As-Sa'iqa as a militant group and not that the article once called both the incident and the group terrorist.
