Australia is facing a rise in anti-Semitic crimes, linked to foreign funding paying local criminals to commit these acts. Prime Minister Albanese announced ongoing investigations into these claims, with police emphasizing that not all perpetrators possess strong ideological motives. Since the Israel-Hamas conflict resumed, incidents such as arson at synagogues and vandalism targeting Jewish sites have increased. This trend is concerning given that Sydney and Melbourne contain most of Australia's Jewish population. The police's investigative unit, Strike Force Pearl, is now expanding efforts to tackle these crimes, actively working to identify the sources of funding.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese indicated that investigators believe foreign actors are funding local criminals to commit anti-Semitic crimes in Australia.
Australia Federal Police Commissioner Reece Kershaw stated that inquiries are ongoing to uncover who is financially backing the criminals involved in anti-Semitic attacks.
