Sydney mayor announces major backflip to New Year celebrations

The Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore, has reversed a previous decision and will now include a Jewish symbol in the city's New Year's Eve tribute to the victims of the Bondi Beach attack. After criticism from Jewish groups and cultural leaders who argued that the original memorial did not adequately recognize the Jewish community targeted in the attack, Moore announced that a menorah will be projected onto the Sydney Harbour Bridge during a minute of silence. The tribute will also feature the words 'peace' and 'unity' alongside the image of a dove, aiming to honor the victims and condemn antisemitism. Moore emphasized the importance of acknowledging the specific impact on the Jewish community and reaffirmed Sydney's commitment to diversity and inclusion.
