Israeli President Isaac Herzog arrived in Sydney on Monday ahead of a multi-city trip aimed at expressing solidarity with Australias Jewish community, after a December shooting at a Hanukkah event that killed 15.
Herzog is visiting Australia this week following an invitation from Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in the aftermath of the December 14 shooting at Bondi Beach, the worst such attack in decades that shocked the nation.
The visit has attracted the ire of some people in Australia, who accuse Herzog of being complicit in civilian deaths in Gaza. Protests are planned across the country.
