Jerusalem – Israeli President Isaac Herzog has strongly condemned a shooting that took place in Sydney, Australia, on Sunday, calling it a cruel attack targeting the Jewish community.

The President also urged Australian authorities to intensify their efforts to combat rising antisemitism. “This attack is a stark reminder of the ongoing threat posed by hate and prejudice,” he said. “We must redouble our efforts to root out antisemitism wherever it exists and ensure the safety and security of Jewish communities around the world.”
