Israel president says at end of visit antisemitism in Australia 'frightening'

Israeli President Isaac Herzog's four-day visit to Australia included meetings with leaders and protests involving up to 10,000 people amid heightened security and community tensions.

  • Israeli President Isaac Herzog visited Australia after a deadly terror attack in Sydney, amid protests accusing him of complicity in civilian deaths in Gaza, which Israel denies as politically motivated and baseless.
  • Protesters cited a UN report alleging Israeli genocide in Gaza and claimed Herzog and officials incited violence, accusations Israel rejects as lies.
  • Herzog described antisemitism in Australia as frightening and worrying but praised a silent majority seeking peace and respecting the Jewish community.
  • Protests against Herzog's visit turned violent in Sydney with police clashing with demonstrators, resulting in arrests, and demonstrations continued in Melbourne during his meetings with officials.
