Israeli government spokesperson David Mencer criticises Australia’s support of a United Nations resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
“Israel does believe that it is impossible to separate the reprehensible act of burning down a synagogue … from the extreme anti-Israeli position of your Labor government,” Mr Mencer said.
“Our prime minister has said that anti-Israel sentiment coming from the Labor government is leading to antisemitism, anti-Israel rhetoric leads to attacks on Jews.
“Incitement against the Jewish state leads to physical attacks on Jews.”
