Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sharply accused the Australian government of “pouring fuel on antisemitic fire” following the deadly Bondi Beach Hanukkah shooting, which left at least 10 people dead and dozens injured.

Netanyahu claimed he had warned Prime Minister Anthony Albanese months ago that Canberra’s policies could embolden hatred against Jewish communities. He condemned the attack as the consequence of political inaction while praising a brave bystander, Ahmed al Ahmed, for intervening during the chaos.

The mass shooting, declared a terrorist incident by NSW Police, has shocked Australia and reignited global discussions on antisemitism, security, and government responsibility.

00:00On August 17th, about four months ago, I sent Prime Minister Albanese of Australia a letter
00:11in which I gave him warning that the Australian government's policy was promoting and encouraging
00:23anti-Semitism in Australia. I wrote, your call for a Palestinian state pures fuel on the
00:31anti-Semitic fire. It rewards Hamas terrorism. It emboldens those who menace Australian Jews
00:38and encourages the Jew hatred now stalking your streets. Anti-Semitism is a cancer. It spreads
00:46when leaders stay silent. It retreats when leaders act. I call upon you to replace weakness
00:51with action, appeasement with resolve. Instead, Prime Minister, you replaced weakness with weakness
01:03and appeasement with more appeasement. Your government did nothing to stop the spread of anti-Semitism
01:09in Australia. You did nothing to curb the cancer cells that were growing inside your country.
01:17You took no action. You let the disease spread. And the result is the horrific attacks on Jews
01:23we saw today. We saw an action of a brave man. It turns out a Muslim brave man, and I salute
01:30him, that stopped one of these terrorists from killing innocent Jews. But it requires the action
01:37of your government, which you are not taking. And you have to. Because history will not forgive
01:45hesitation and weakness. It will honor action and strength. That's what Israel expects of each
01:51of your governments in the West and elsewhere. Because the disease spreads and it will consume
01:58you as well. But we are worrying right now about our people, our safety, and we do not remain silent.
02:05We fight those who try to annihilate us. They're not only trying to annihilate us, they attack us
02:13because they attack the West. In Syria, we saw yesterday, two American soldiers killed and one American
02:23interpreter. Killed as well. Killed because they represent our common culture. Now, as a result of this,
02:33Secretary of War Pete Hexert said the following. He said, let it be known that if you target Americans
02:39anywhere in the world, you will spend the rest of your brief anxious life knowing the United States will hunt you,
02:46find you, and ruthlessly kill you. We send our condolences to the people of America.
02:53And I want to say that our policy is exactly that policy. That's why those who target Israelis,
03:00target our soldiers, try to kill them or try to hurt them and wound them, as happened in Gaza yesterday.
03:08We take action. They will spend the rest of their brief anxious lives knowing that Israel will hunt them,
03:15find them, and ruthlessly dispose of them. That is American policy. This is Israel's policy.
03:21It's our policy in Gaza, in Lebanon, anywhere around us. We do not sit by and let these killers kill us.
