The recent visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog to Australia has sparked significant unrest, culminating in violent clashes between protesters and police in Sydney. According to the Tribune Latest, 27 individuals were arrested, with 10 accused of assaulting officers during the protests against Herzog's visit. The protests were primarily organized by pro-Palestine groups who accuse Herzog of complicity in civilian deaths in Gaza. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese expressed his dismay at the violence, stating, 'Australians want two things. They don't want conflict brought here. They want killing to stop, whether it's Israelis or Palestinians, but they do not want conflict brought here' (Tribune Latest). The protests were further fueled by the recent Bondi Beach shooting, which killed 15 people, and Herzog's visit was intended to console the Jewish community affected by this tragedy (Dawn).
