The United States “strongly condemns” the attack at Sydney’s Bondi Beach in which 11 people were killed and almost 30 wounded when gunmen fired on a Hanukkah event, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio posts.

“Antisemitism has no place in this world. Our prayers are with the victims of this horrific attack, the Jewish community, and the people of Australia,” Rubio writes in a post on X.
