Three days after two terrorists killed 15 people at a Hanukkah celebration on Bondi Beach in Sydney, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demands that Western governments do more to protect global Jewish communities and fight antisemitism, in a brief video message shared by his office.
“I demand that Western governments do what is necessary to combat antisemitism and provide the required security and protection for Jewish communities around the world,” Netanyahu says in the video.
“They would do well to heed our warnings. I am demanding action — now,” he adds.
