Bondi Victims' Families Demand National Probe Into Antisemitism

Seventeen families demand a federal royal commission to investigate a rise in antisemitism linked to security and intelligence failures behind the Bondi Beach mass shooting.

  • On Dec. 14, in Sydney, authorities accuse Sajid and Naveed Akram of attacking a Hanukkah event at Bondi Beach, killing 15 and wounding 40.
  • Seventeen families of victims urged Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to establish a Commonwealth Royal Commission into rising antisemitism since the Israel-Hamas war began in 2023.
  • Public support coalesced around Bondi hero Ahmed al Ahmed, 43-year-old Syrian-Australian shopkeeper, as more than 43,000 donors gave over 2.5 million Australian dollars and Jarrod Grech painted a Melbourne lane mural.
  • Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said urgent action was needed and backed a New South Wales-led royal commission while Canberra flagged reforms to gun ownership and hate speech laws.
  • An administrative review led by Dennis Richardson will report in April next year, as officials warn antisemitism extends beyond one state and New South Wales Premier Chris Minns calls for a comprehensive response.
