Australian detectives are currently looking into the possibility of foreign actors paying criminals to carry out antisemitic attacks in the country. This investigation comes in response to a surge in antisemitic crimes in Australia following the conflict between Israel and Hamas that began on October 7, 2023.
The Australia Federal Police Commissioner revealed that there are suspicions that criminals-for-hire may be involved in some of these incidents. Authorities are now focused on determining who is funding these criminals, their whereabouts, whether they are local or international, and what their motives might be.
