"Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has apologised to the Jewish community over last week's Bondi Beach attack, which killed 15 people at a Hanukkah ceremony, and called for stricter laws against hate speech and hardline violence. Albanese pledged that his government would work to protect Jewish Australians and their right to practise their faith."
"Police believe suspects Sajid Akram, 50, and his son Naveed, 24, were inspired by ISIL (ISIS), saying the group's flags were found in a car they drove. While Sajid was shot dead by police, Naveed is still recovering from his bullet injuries in hospital and has been charged with 59 offences, including murder and terrorism. In a court filing, police said the men recorded videos condemning Zionists and explained their motivation for the Bondi attack'."
