Israel's foreign minister, Gideon Sa'ar, revoked the visas of Australian representatives to the Palestinian Authority. This decision was taken after Australia refused to grant visas to Israeli figures and intended to recognize Palestinian statehood. Sa'ar's action followed the cancellation of Simcha Rothman's visa before his tour in Australia, which he characterized as a response to rising antisemitism. He condemned the Australian government for fueling these tensions with accusations against visiting Israeli figures. Additionally, he instructed the Israeli embassy to closely examine all Australian visa applications for entry to Israel.
