Israeli President Herzog will meet Bondi attack survivors and Australian leaders during a five-day visit to express solidarity after the Hanukkah shooting that killed 15 people.
- On February 8, Israeli President Isaac Herzog will arrive in Australia for a five-day visit to meet families and survivors of the Bondi Beach Hanukkah shooting.
- The December 14 Bondi Beach Hanukkah attack killed 15 people, prompting Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to invite Herzog and request a formal invitation via Governor-General Sam Mostyn.
- Herzog will lead a delegation including Yaakov Hagoel and Doron Almog, with official meetings involving the Governor-General, Prime Minister Albanese, and leaders across the political spectrum.
- Calls to rescind the invitation and police investigations have accompanied the planned protests, with Labor Friends of Palestine and the Australian Centre for International Justice urging the AFP to investigate Herzog while pro‑Palestine activists prepare nationwide protests.
- Herzog denies the allegations, saying his remarks were taken out of context, while Australian lawmakers and legal advocates have urged migration and character test calls amid United Nations findings.
