Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi has sparked controversy by calling the Israeli President a 'war criminal' and criticizing Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for inviting him to Australia. The invitation to Isaac Herzog follows the Bondi Beach terror attack, with government officials describing the visit as an important gesture to the Jewish community. Faruqi's remarks have drawn condemnation from Jewish leaders, who accuse her of fueling division and antisemitism. The debate comes as the government prepares to introduce new hate speech legislation in response to the recent attack, with the Greens yet to state their position on the proposed laws.
