Former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stay out of Australian politics after remarks linking Australia’s support for a Palestinian state to rising antisemitism. Prime Minister etanyahu made the comments following a mass shooting at Bondi Beach during a Hanukkah-related event that left 15 people dead. He suggested that Australia’s stance on Palestinian statehood was contributing to antisemitism within the country. Mr Turnbull dismissed the claim, saying Australia’s foreign policy is determined by Australians and should not be used to explain acts of domestic violence. He warned against drawing conclusions that link international policy debates to criminal acts before facts are established. Police investigations into the Bondi Beach attack are continuing. Authorities have urged the public to avoid speculation about the motive while inquiries remain underway.
