Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese convenes a meeting of Australia’s national cabinet after a childcare center was torched in the latest antisemitic attack.
“What we saw overnight with this attack is the latest in a series of antisemitic hate crimes,” Albanese tells reporters.
“This is a place for children and families and it should never have been denigrated by this despicable and horrifying crime.”
“It will be an opportunity for us to discuss collectively the responses that are being made by state and territory governments,” he said ahead of the discussions of the high-level forum, which pulls together leaders from each state and territory.
