Netanyahu says he warned Australia of policies fueling 'antisemitic fire'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu railed against the policies of Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese following the Bondi Beach shooting on Sunday.

After two gunmen targeted a Hanukkah event in Australia and killed at least 15 people, Netanyahu said he warned Albanese in August that his decision to call for Palestinian statehood “pours fuel on the antisemitic fire.” Netanyahu said his August letter warned “that the Australian Government’s policy was promoting and encouraging antisemitism in Australia.”
