Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu points finger at the Australian Labor Government over synagogue firebombing

Labor’s ‘extreme anti-Israel position’ is to blame for the firebombing of a Melbourne synagogue and increasing antisemitism throughout Australia, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has said in an extraordinary intervention.

Netanyahu on X:
“The burning of the Adass Israel synagogue in Melbourne is an abhorrent act of antisemitism”
“I expect the state authorities to use their full weight to prevent such antisemitic acts in the future”

“Unfortunately, it is impossible to separate this reprehensible act from the extreme anti-Israeli position of the Labor government in Australia, including the scandalous decision to support the UN resolution calling on Israel “to bring an end to its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, as rapidly as possible” and preventing a former Israeli minister from entering the country”
