Labor group urges Albanese to rescind invitation to Israeli president Isaac Herzog
AI Summary
A Labor group, "Friends of Palestine," is urging the Australian government, led by Prime Minister Albanese, to withdraw its invitation to Israeli President Isaac Herzog. The group is protesting Israel's military actions in Gaza. They allege that Herzog incited genocide and suggest he should be investigated by federal police if he visits Australia, although legal experts consider this outcome improbable. This request highlights growing internal tensions within the Labor movement regarding the conflict in the Middle East and responses to related events, such as the alleged antisemitic terror attack at Bondi beach. The group's stance reflects a broader disagreement within the party about Australia's relationship with Israel.
