Israeli president to honour Bondi Beach attack victims on Australia visit
Herzog's visit aims to console families of the 15 killed in the Bondi Beach terror attack while prompting nationwide protests and deployment of 3,500 police, officials said.
- On Monday, Israeli President Isaac Herzog arrived in Sydney to begin his official visit and meet Jewish leaders and victims' families of the Bondi Beach terror attack.
- Because the Bondi Beach attack that killed 15 people prompted the governor-general and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to invite Herzog to join the grieving community, Herzog will visit Australia on Monday.
- Authorities declared the visit a "major event," giving police expanded powers and deploying more than 3,000 NSW Police, including 500 for tonight's demonstration, with fines up to $5,500.
- Protesters plan to march from Town Hall to NSW Parliament and the Palestine Action Group has lodged a last-minute Supreme Court challenge against the "major event" designation.
- The U.N. inquiry has alleged Herzog incited genocide, a charge Israel rejects, and Australian MPs and Jewish community groups remain divided over his visit.
