The peak body of Australian Jewry has delivered a stinging rebuke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as strongly chastising Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, in letters to the two leaders.
The Executive Council of Australian Jewry has told both leaders, in the letters sent on Wednesday, to address their two governments’ policy differences “through diplomacy rather than public posturing”, and accused them of playing to their respective domestic constituencies.
In the letter to Netanyahu, the council condemned his denouncing Albanese on social media as “a weak politician who betrayed Israel and abandoned Australia’s Jews”.
