Australian PM Albanese gets booed during Bondi Beach vigil honoring Hanukkah attack victims

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was booed at a vigil held Sunday on Bondi Beach honoring victims of a recent attack. Approximately 10,000 people, including Albanese, other politicians, and members of the Jewish community, attended the vigil. The booing occurred after David Ossip, president of the New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies, acknowledged Albanese's presence. The crowd also cheered for opposition leader Sussan Ley, who has stated she would reverse Albanese's government's decision to recognize a Palestinian state. The vigil was organized to remember those affected by the Bondi Beach stabbing incident and to denounce antisemitism.
