US President Donald Trump urged members of the Jewish community to 'celebrate proudly' in the wake of a terrorist attack targeting Hanukkah celebrations in Sydney, Australia. In a conversation with Fox News, Trump reassured Americans observing Hanukkah that they should not be concerned for their safety and encouraged them to embrace their traditions confidently.

At a White House Christmas reception, Trump condemned the Sydney attack as 'purely antisemitic' and expressed admiration for the individual who intervened during the incident, describing him as 'very, very brave.' The president emphasized the importance of standing together and celebrating Hanukkah despite recent events.
