- Australia accused Iran of orchestrating two antisemitic arson attacks on Jewish sites in Sydney and Melbourne.
- Operations at the Australian embassy in Tehran were suspended and Iran’s Revolutionary Guard was designated a terrorist group.
- This marks Australia's first expulsion of an envoy since World War Two in response to foreign aggression.
- Antisemitic incidents in Australia surged significantly following the outbreak of the Israel-Gaza conflict in October 2023.
These were attacks that deliberately targeted Jewish Australians, destroyed a sacred house of worship, caused millions of dollars of damage, and terrified our community.— Daniel Aghian, president of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ), commenting on the antisemitic attacks.
