Israeli journalist who said 100,000 Gazans should have been killed after 7 October could be denied Australia visa

Australian Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke is considering denying a visa to Israeli journalist Zvi Yehezkeli, preventing his entry into the country. The potential denial stems from Yehezkeli's past inflammatory comments, specifically his statement suggesting 100,000 Gazans should have been killed following the Hamas attack on October 7th. Yehezkeli was scheduled to visit Australia next month for a fundraising event. Burke is currently reviewing the visa application in light of these comments, as initially reported by Nine newspapers. The decision is based on concerns regarding the potential impact of Yehezkeli's views on the Australian community.
