Israeli President Isaac Herzog began his state visit to Australia by paying respects at the Bondi Beach site where an antisemitic attack occurred, resulting in 15 deaths. During his visit, Herzog laid a wreath and placed stones in memory of the victims and met with their families to offer condolences.
The visit is part of efforts to support the Jewish community in Australia and to strengthen diplomatic ties between Israel and Australia.
**Why this matters**
The attack at Bondi Beach has heightened concerns over antisemitism in Australia. Herzog’s visit underscores the importance of international solidarity in addressing hate crimes and fostering stronger relations between nations to promote security and mutual understanding.
