Anthony Albanese has insisted there is no link between Canberra’s recognition of Palestine and the Bondi Beach attack
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has rejected his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu’s claim that Canberra’s policies were to blame for a deadly attack on a Jewish holiday gathering near Sydney.
Two Islamist gunmen killed 15 people and wounded dozens of others during a Hanukkah celebration in the iconic Sydney suburb of Bondi Beach on Sunday. In the aftermath, Netanyahu said Australia’s recognition of Palestinian statehood earlier this year had “poured fuel” on an “antisemitic fire.”
