Day of Mourning as Australia Remembers October 7 Attack
Jewish groups and NSW leaders condemn the vigils as attention-seeking, while one planned dawn commemoration will mark the attack at 6:29am.
- NSW Premier Chris Minns conceded on Tuesday he cannot guarantee Labor MPs will avoid pro-Palestinian vigils scheduled for Wednesday, describing the events as a "heartless" demonstration.
- Jews Against the Occupation 48 and Wollongong Friends of Palestine organized the vigils to draw attention to Israel's war in Gaza, claiming the date was chosen due to "retaliatory airstrikes."
- Internal government opposition has consistently challenged the Premier's hardline stance; last year, Labor ministers including Penny Sharpe defied his attempt to ban a "March for Humanity" by joining the 90,000-person procession.
- NSW Opposition Leader Kellie Sloane labeled the vigils "sickening" and "provocative," demanding Minns show leadership, while Labor MP Anthony D'Adam confirmed he will not attend, calling them "unnecessary."
- Jewish groups plan a dawn commemoration at Bondi Pavilion for the October 7 attack, which killed about 1,200 people, as Executive Council of Australian Jewry's Alex Ryvchin stated such events will not weaken bonds with Australia and Israel.
