Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was booed at a vigil for victims of the Bondi Beach shooting, where 10,000 mourners gathered. The crowd's reaction was largely driven by criticism of Albanese's government's handling of rising antisemitism in Australia. Jewish leaders and Israeli officials had previously lambasted Albanese's decision to recognize a Palestinian state, arguing it contributed to the spread of antisemitism. The attack on December 14 left 15 dead and dozens hospitalized, with the suspected shooter, 24-year-old Naveed Akram, facing charges of murder and terrorism.
