Trump Urges Jews to 'Celebrate Proudly' After Sydney Hanukkah Attack
President Trump urged the Jewish community to celebrate Hanukkah proudly after a terrorist attack in Sydney killed 11 and injured 29 during a large gathering, authorities said.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump urged the Jewish community in Sydney not to be worried and to `celebrate proudly` after at least 11 were killed and 29 injured in the Bondi Beach Hanukkah event.
- Police declared the attack a terrorist incident several hours after it occurred, citing the timing on the first day of Hanukkah and the weapons used, Australian authorities said.
- Authorities say two suspected attackers were involved, with one suspect shot dead at the scene and one suspect in custody in critical condition, while investigators probe a possible third perpetrator.
- Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said `Your fellow Australians stand with you tonight in condemning this act of terror` as Australia's National Terrorism Threat Level remains 'probable' and the US Embassy in Australia advised avoiding Bondi.
- Australia has rarely seen mass shootings since 1996, with 31 firearm homicides recorded in 2023-24, while Israeli leaders called the attack antisemitic and the Jewish Council of Australia said the community was horrified and shaken.
