The armed attack during a Jewish holiday event in Sydney's Bondi Beach area has strained relations between Australia and Israel. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Following this incident, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for not taking sufficient measures against antisemitism in the country. In his speech, Anthony Albanese called for national unity and emphasized that the government is ready to take necessary actions against antisemitism and violence.
He stated that the government has passed strict laws against hate speech and violence and plans to allocate additional funds to ensure the safety of the Jewish community. He also announced that strengthening gun laws is under discussion.
Representatives of the Jewish community noted an increase in previous antisemitic incidents and demanded stricter measures from the government. The opposition criticized the government for not being active enough against antisemitism and called for full implementation of the recommendations.
This incident has once again brought the issues of combating racial and religious hatred, freedom of speech, and security to the forefront in Australia. The government stated that it will thoroughly investigate the details of this attack and take concrete measures to prevent such events in the future.
