Australia's government defends its record on curbing antisemitism after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accuses it of anti-Israel policies following an arson attack on a Melbourne synagogue. Australia has taken strong actions to stand against antisemitism, including providing $25 million to Jewish organizations for security upgrades and banning the Nazi salute. However, some Jewish groups argue that more needs to be done. Australia has seen a rise in antisemitic and Islamophobic incidents since the start of the Israel-Gaza war in October 2023.
