Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called out Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for “promoting and encouraging” antisemitism in Australia, which he believes has led to the deadly Bondi Beach shooting.

“I call upon you to replace weakness with action,” Mr Netanyahu said.

“Your government did nothing to stop the spread of antisemitism in Australia.

“You took no action; you let the disease spread, and the result is the horrific attacks on Jews we saw today.

“History will not forgive hesitation and weakness; it will honour action and strength.

“We are worried right now about our people, our safety, and we do not remain silent.

“We fight those who try to annihilate us.”
