Most European far right parties have very direct ties with everyone's favorite global influence. Far right parties are easy to control. Spending more on military and right winger-ism are perfect combinations.

This article goes in a little depth:

"Pro-Israel politicians from the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD), including those who are under trial for using literal Nazi slogans, can freely speak on the Israeli war on Palestine under the guise of “fighting anti-Semitism”, but Ghassan Abu-Sittah, the Palestinian surgeon and rector of Glasgow University who worked in Gaza hospitals and documented war crimes during this latest Israeli assault on the Palestinian enclave cannot give his testimony to the German public."

Being pro military and pro Israel doesn't mean these parties will be pro NATO. What's far more likely is that they'll try to build some kind of European military around France and Germany.
