Israeli President Isaac Herzog is visiting Australia this week to show support for the Jewish community after the December 14 Bondi Beach mass shooting that killed 15. His trip was invited by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. While Herzog comforts those affected, his arrival sparked protests nationwide. Thousands gathered in various cities, calling for justice and shouting pro-Palestine slogans. The protests come as some accuse Herzog of being complicit in civilian deaths in Gaza. A UN inquiry found Herzog liable for prosecution over his comment that "all Palestinians - an entire nation" were responsible for the Hamas attack on Israel. Israel rejected the UN report, calling it "distorted and false" and demanding the inquiry’s abolition. In Sydney, thousands assembled in the central business district, listening to speeches and voicing strong opposition to Herzog's visit.
