Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused the Australian government of stoking antisemitism prior to Sunday's tragic shooting in Sydney that targeted a Jewish celebration, resulting in 11 fatalities.

"Three months ago I wrote to the Australian prime minister that your policy is pouring oil on the fire of antisemitism," Netanyahu stated, referring to correspondence he sent to Anthony Albanese in August following Australia's announcement of its intention to recognize Palestinian statehood.
