"In an open letter published on Monday, relatives of 11 of the victims of the attack called on Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to hold a royal commission into what they called the rapid and dangerous rise of anti-Jewish sentiment following Hamas's October 7, 2023 attacks on Israel. In their letter, the families said they needed to know why clear warning signs were ignored and how antisemitic hatred [was] allowed to dangerously grow unchecked."
"Fifteen people, most of them Jewish, were killed when two gunmen opened fire on a Hanukkah celebration at Sydney's iconic Bondi Beach on December 14. The response of Albanese's Labor government to the attack, including proposals to tighten gun laws and introduce tougher legislation against hate speech, was not nearly enough, the families said. We need strong action now. We need leadership now."

Relatives of 11 victims published an open letter urging Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to investigate why warning signs were ignored and how antisemitic hatred was allowed to grow unchecked. Fifteen people, mostly Jewish, were killed on December 14 when two gunmen opened fire at a Hanukkah celebration; authorities say the suspects were inspired by ISIL. Families said government proposals on gun laws and hate speech were insufficient. Albanese announced an independent review of law enforcement and intelligence agencies while resisting calls for a public inquiry.
