The Australian government’s support for a UN resolution calling for an end to Israel’s occupation of Gaza is to blame for a widely condemned arson attack on a Melbourne synagogue, the Jewish state’s prime minister says.
“It is impossible to separate the reprehensible arson attack from the federal government’s extreme anti-Israeli position,” the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, posted on social media early on Saturday.
