synagogue

Intelligence services linked Iran to an arson attack on a café in Sydney in October last year, and another on a synagogue in Melbourne in December, Albanese told a press conference.

"In France, not a day passes without Jews assaulted in the street, synagogues or schools defaced, or Jewish-owned businesses vandalized. Your own Interior Ministry has reported antisemitic incidents even at preschools."

He wrote: "It's good to infiltrate the target, be it a mosque or synagogue, as they think I'm one of them because I infiltrated the place."

Australia's prime minister has promised to take strong action following an apparent arson attack on a synagogue in Melbourne.

In October 2018, a gunman entered the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh and shot and killed 11 Jews at prayer.
