Australia begins hearings into Bondi Beach attack and rising antisemitism

The inquiry will hear from more than 7,400 submitters and recommend security and gun-law changes after the Bondi Beach killings.

  • Australia has begun public hearings on the Bondi Beach mass shooting that killed 15 people during a Jewish Hanukkah celebration, as part of a national inquiry into rising antisemitism.
  • The Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion received over 5,700 public submissions and is investigating the prevalence of antisemitism and the circumstances of the attack.
  • Witnesses include community members affected by the attack, some of whom have been granted anonymity due to fears of hostile attention.
  • An interim report recommends increased security at Jewish events, counter-terrorism measures, and gun reforms, with a final report due on December 14, marking the anniversary of the attack.
