PM issues apology after Bondi attack

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese apologised to the Jewish community following the deadly attack at Sydney's Bondi Beach, where two Isis-inspired gunmen killed 15 people at a Hanukkah celebration.

His remarks follow days of criticism from Jewish leaders and opposition parties, who say the government has failed to adequately address a rise in antisemitism over the past two years. Mr Albanese yesterday acknowledged the anger directed at him, after he was booed at a vigil on Sunday marking a week since the attack occurred.

"I feel the weight of responsibility for an atrocity that happened whilst I'm prime minister," Mr Albanese told reporters. "And I'm sorry for what the Jewish community and our nation as a whole has experienced."
