Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched a rare personal attack against Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, accusing him of betraying Israel and abandoning Australia's Jewish community. The criticism follows Australia's decision to bar a far-right Israeli politician from visiting, which led Israel to revoke the residency visas of Australia's representatives to the Palestinian Authority. Australian officials condemned Israel's response as unjustified and expressed concern that the diplomatic rift undermines efforts toward peace. Tensions between the two countries have escalated since Australia announced its recognition of a Palestinian state at the United Nations.
