00:09:45,720 –> 00:09:49,799
her mass terrorists, It emboldens those who menace Australian Jews
148
00:09:49,840 –> 00:09:54,720
and encourages the Jew hatred now stalking your streets. Antisemitism
149
00:09:54,799 –> 00:09:58,159
is a cancer. It spreads when leaders stay silent. It
150
00:09:58,240 –> 00:10:01,320
retreats when leaders act. I call upon you to replace
151
00:10:01,360 –> 00:10:06,120
weakness with action, appeasement with resolve. Instead, Prime Minister, you
152
00:10:06,240 –> 00:10:10,120
replaced weakness with weakness and appeasement with more appeasement. Your
153
00:10:10,159 –> 00:10:14,360
government did nothing to stop the spread of antisemitism in Australia.
154
00:10:14,679 –> 00:10:17,279
You did nothing to curb the cancer cells that were
155
00:10:17,320 –> 00:10:20,679
growing inside your country. You took no action. You let
156
00:10:20,720 –> 00:10:23,480
the disease spread, and the result is the horrific attacks
157
00:10:23,519 –> 00:10:26,879
on Jews we saw today. In a tweet posted through
158
00:10:26,960 –> 00:10:31,039
his personal verified ex social media account few hours ago,
159
00:10:31,519 –> 00:10:36,000
Australia Prime Minister Antony Albanese said, in moments like this,
160
00:10:36,480 –> 00:10:40,960
we must come together. Australia stands united against hatred and terror.
161
00:10:41,720 –> 00:10:46,080
Speaking during the news conference on Sunday, Australia’s Home Minister
162
00:10:46,559 –> 00:10:50,039
Tony Burke gave more details about the government who happened
163
00:10:50,039 –> 00:10:53,440
to be father and son, Sajid Akram and Navid Akram.
164
00:10:54,159 –> 00:10:57,440
He says the father arrived in Australia in nineteen ninety
165
00:10:57,440 –> 00:11:00,879
eight on a student visa. The one who we know
166
00:11:01,080 –> 00:11:05,360
is Navid Akram is an Australian born citizen. The father,
167
00:11:05,759 –> 00:11:09,120
a fifty year old, was killed at the scene, taking
168
00:11:09,120 –> 00:11:11,879
the total number of dead to sixteen, while his twenty
169
00:11:11,879 –> 00:11:15,240
four year old son is in a critical condition in hospital.
170
00:11:15,960 –> 00:11:19,240
Local media reported that both men pledged allegiance to the
171
00:11:19,320 –> 00:11:23,559
Islamic State Group, adding that Navid first came to authorities
172
00:11:23,600 –> 00:11:27,720
attention in October twenty nineteen, but the Australian Prime Minister
173
00:11:27,799 –> 00:11:30,799
said an assessment was made that there was no indication
174
00:11:30,919 –> 00:11:34,320
of any ongoing threat or threat of him engaging in violence.
175
00:11:35,159 –> 00:11:38,120
His father arrived in Australia on a student visa in
176
00:11:38,200 –> 00:11:41,519
nineteen ninety eight, which was transferred in two thousand and
177
00:11:41,679 –> 00:11:46,080
one to a partner visa and later resident return visas. Meanwhile,
178
00:11:46,120 –> 00:11:48,360
the man who tackled one of the gunmen to the
179
00:11:48,399 –> 00:11:51,440
floor and saved people from getting shot at Bondai Beach
180
00:11:51,519 –> 00:11:55,759
in Australia was identified as Ahmed al Ahmed. He was
181
00:11:55,799 –> 00:11:59,399
shot during the incident and is currently recuperating in a hospital.
182
00:12:00,159 –> 00:12:04,200
New South Wales Stayed Premiere Christopher men said in numbers
183
00:12:04,240 –> 00:12:07,720
of posts between Sunday and Monday that to night I
184
00:12:07,759 –> 00:12:10,120
made the decision to light the Sydney Opera House with
185
00:12:10,279 –> 00:12:13,679
candles on the Menorah, marking the second day of Harnekah.
186
00:12:14,360 –> 00:12:16,919
In the wake of this horrific attack, it is more
187
00:12:16,960 –> 00:12:19,799
important than ever that the Jewish community in New South
188
00:12:19,879 –> 00:12:23,799
Wales knows they do not stand alone. We cannot and
189
00:12:23,879 –> 00:12:26,759
we will not allow Jewish Australians to feel they must
190
00:12:26,840 –> 00:12:32,200
hide their faith, their traditions, their religious celebrations or their identity.
191
00:12:32,679 –> 00:12:35,759
Lighting the Opera House is a simple but powerful gesture,
192
00:12:36,159 –> 00:12:39,200
a message to the world that we cherish our Jewish community,
193
00:12:39,559 –> 00:12:42,000
that we honor their courage, and that we stand with
194
00:12:42,080 –> 00:12:46,080
them in’s solidarity and love. To night. Those candles are
195
00:12:46,080 –> 00:12:49,200
a symbol of resilience and a reminder that even in darkness,
196
00:12:49,559 –> 00:12:52,840
we choose to stand with one another. Ahmed is a
197
00:12:52,879 –> 00:12:57,159
real life hero. Last night, his incredible bravery, no doubt,
198
00:12:57,240 –> 00:13:00,559
saved countless lives when he disarmed the terrorists to enormous
199
00:13:00,600 –> 00:13:04,000
personal risk. It was an honor to spend time with
200
00:13:04,120 –> 00:13:06,320
him just now and to pass on the thanks of
201
00:13:06,399 –> 00:13:10,080
people across New South Wales. There is no doubt that
202
00:13:10,159 –> 00:13:12,879
more lives would have been lost if not for HMED’s
203
00:13:12,919 –> 00:13:18,039
selfish courage. Thank you Hmed. Tonight, on the second night
204
00:13:18,080 –> 00:13:21,039
of the Jewish festival of Harnekah, we laid wreaths to
205
00:13:21,080 –> 00:13:23,519
honor and pay tribute to the victims of the horrific
206
00:13:23,639 –> 00:13:27,879
terrorist attack in Bondai and their families. Fifteen innocent people
207
00:13:27,919 –> 00:13:30,799
who lost their lives in a targeted attack against the
208
00:13:30,840 –> 00:13:34,480
Jewish community on the first night of their festival of Harnkah.
209
00:13:34,960 –> 00:13:40,600
The monumental outpouring of sympathy, emotions, flowers and memorial stones
210
00:13:40,679 –> 00:13:44,399
is emblematic of the Australian spirit. Even in the face
211
00:13:44,440 –> 00:13:49,039
of sheer, wanton violence, we will not be broken. Harnikah
212
00:13:49,159 –> 00:13:52,679
is the Jewish festival of lights. On this the second
213
00:13:52,799 –> 00:13:56,559
night of Harnekah, we light candles together and unite against
214
00:13:56,559 –> 00:14:00,559
the darkness. Today I met with Jewish community leaders to
215
00:14:00,600 –> 00:14:03,639
reaffirm that New South Wales stands with them during this
216
00:14:03,759 –> 00:14:08,759
incredibly dark time. We are grieving alongside them. This horrific
217
00:14:08,840 –> 00:14:13,480
act of violence demands an overwhelming response. Operation Shelter is
218
00:14:13,519 –> 00:14:17,000
being strengthened. More than three hundred and twenty police are
219
00:14:17,039 –> 00:14:20,639
being deployed today and we will continue to increase that number.
220
00:14:21,360 –> 00:14:24,639
I want to be clear, especially for our Jewish community,
221
00:14:24,679 –> 00:14:27,279
that New South Wales police are there to protect them,
222
00:14:27,679 –> 00:14:30,000
to keep them safe, and that they have every right
223
00:14:30,039 –> 00:14:33,159
to celebrate their faith and enjoy this festive period free
224
00:14:33,200 –> 00:14:36,320
from the fear and sorrow caused by this terrible violence.
225
00:14:37,120 –> 00:14:40,240
It is my sad duty to update that fifteen innocent
226
00:14:40,320 –> 00:14:44,360
victims are confirmed deceased following the horrific targeted attack on
227
00:14:44,399 –> 00:14:47,840
the Jewish community at Bondi Beach. I want to be
228
00:14:47,879 –> 00:14:51,600
crystal clear that we strongly repudiate antisemitism in all of
229
00:14:51,600 –> 00:14:54,440
its forms, and there is no tolerance for racism or
230
00:14:54,519 –> 00:14:58,240
hatred in New South Wales or Australia, and we will
231
00:14:58,279 –> 00:15:01,240
wrap our arms around the Jewish community and let them
232
00:15:01,279 –> 00:15:06,200
know that every Australian stands with them. Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu,
233
00:15:06,600 –> 00:15:09,399
in a video press released during the government meeting in
234
00:15:09,480 –> 00:15:14,759
Demona on Sunday, said, on August seventeenth, about four months ago,
235
00:15:14,879 –> 00:15:17,960
I sent Prime Minister Albanese of Australia a letter in
236
00:15:18,000 –> 00:15:21,320
which I gave him warning that the Australian government’s policy
237
00:15:21,480 –> 00:15:26,440
was promoting and encouraging antisemitism in Australia. I wrote your
238
00:15:26,519 –> 00:15:29,440
call for a Palestinian state cause fuel on the anti
239
00:15:29,519 –> 00:15:34,200
Semitic fire. It rewards her mass terrorists, It emboldens those
240
00:15:34,200 –> 00:15:37,720
who menace Australian Jews, and encourages the due hatred now
241
00:15:37,759 –> 00:15:42,480
stalking your streets. Antisemitism is a cancer. It spreads when
242
00:15:42,559 –> 00:15:46,919
leaders stay silent. It retreats when leaders act. I call
243
00:15:47,000 –> 00:15:52,080
upon you to replace weakness with action, appeasement with resolve. Instead,
244
00:15:52,440 –> 00:15:56,200
Prime Minister, you replaced weakness with weakness and appeasement with
245
00:15:56,279 –> 00:16:00,240
more appeasement. Your government did nothing to stop the bread
246
00:16:00,240 –> 00:16:04,200
of antisemitism in Australia. You did nothing to curb the
247
00:16:04,279 –> 00:16:08,200
cancer cells that were growing inside your country. You took
248
00:16:08,279 –> 00:16:11,159
no action. You let the disease spread, and the result
249
00:16:11,320 –> 00:16:13,879
is the horrific attacks on Jews we saw to day.
250
00:16:14,679 –> 00:16:17,639
We saw an action of a brave man turns out
251
00:16:17,639 –> 00:16:21,200
a Muslim brave man, and I salute him. That stopped
252
00:16:21,200 –> 00:16:24,720
one of these terrorists from killing innocent Jews. But it
253
00:16:24,840 –> 00:16:28,120
requires the action of your government, which you are not taking.
254
00:16:28,919 –> 00:16:32,840
And you have to because history will not forgive hesitation
255
00:16:33,000 –> 00:16:36,720
and weakness, it will honor action and strength. That’s what
256
00:16:36,840 –> 00:16:39,679
Israel expects of each of your governments in the West
257
00:16:39,720 –> 00:16:43,600
and elsewhere, because the disease spreads and it will consume
258
00:16:43,639 –> 00:16:46,480
you as well. But we are worrying right now about
259
00:16:46,480 –> 00:16:50,000
our people, our safety, and we do not remain silent.
260
00:16:50,799 –> 00:16:53,840
We fight those who try to annihilate us. They’re not
261
00:16:53,960 –> 00:16:57,480
only trying to annihilate us, they attack us because they
262
00:16:57,519 –> 00:17:00,759
attack the West. In Syria, we saw you yesterday two
263
00:17:00,799 –> 00:17:04,640
American soldiers killed and one American interpreter killed as well,
264
00:17:05,400 –> 00:17:08,960
killed because they represent our common culture. Now, as a
265
00:17:09,000 –> 00:17:12,839
result of this, Secretary of War Peter Hesath said the following.
266
00:17:13,680 –> 00:17:16,160
He said, let it be known that if you target
267
00:17:16,200 –> 00:17:19,319
Americans anywhere in the world, you will spend the rest
268
00:17:19,319 –> 00:17:22,400
of your brief, anxious life knowing the United States will
269
00:17:22,480 –> 00:17:26,279
hunt you, find you, and ruthlessly kill you. We send
270
00:17:26,319 –> 00:17:29,279
our condolences to the people of America, and I want
271
00:17:29,319 –> 00:17:33,039
to say that our policy is exactly that policy. That’s
272
00:17:33,079 –> 00:17:37,160
why those who target Israelis target our soldiers, try to
273
00:17:37,240 –> 00:17:39,240
kill them or try to hurt them and wound them,
274
00:17:39,480 –> 00:17:43,480
as happened in Gaza yesterday. We take action. They will
275
00:17:43,519 –> 00:17:46,240
spend the rest of the brief anxious lives knowing that
276
00:17:46,359 –> 00:17:50,559
Israel will hunt them, find them and ruthlessly dispose of them.
277
00:17:50,799 –> 00:17:54,759
That is American policy. This is Israel’s policy. It’s our
278
00:17:54,799 –> 00:17:59,400
policy in Gaza, in Lebanon, anywhere around us. We do
279
00:17:59,519 –> 00:18:02,599
not sit by and let these killers kill us. Also
280
00:18:02,759 –> 00:18:06,759
said during the ceremony, Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu and his
281
00:18:06,799 –> 00:18:10,720
wife Sarah Natanyahoo at the National Police Academy lit the
282
00:18:10,759 –> 00:18:14,680
first Harneka candle together with National Security Minister at Omar
283
00:18:14,839 –> 00:18:18,240
benji Ver and his wife Ayala, and the Israel Police
284
00:18:18,240 –> 00:18:21,680
Inspector General Danny Levy at the Harnaka ceremony that was
285
00:18:21,720 –> 00:18:25,160
attended by the family of the National counter Terrorism Unit
286
00:18:25,240 –> 00:18:30,240
fighter Master Sergeant Ranjivili of Blessed Memory, who fought bravely
287
00:18:30,279 –> 00:18:34,000
on October seventh and was taken hostage to Gaza. Israel
288
00:18:34,039 –> 00:18:38,279
Police Chief Rabbi Rami Berricahou, the senior police command staff,
289
00:18:38,559 –> 00:18:41,720
and male and female police officers. According to the news
290
00:18:41,759 –> 00:18:44,880
release made available by the Office of the Prime Minister
291
00:18:45,000 –> 00:18:48,680
of Israel, that we will bring ranback, just as we
292
00:18:48,759 –> 00:18:51,319
brought back two hundred and fifty four out of our
293
00:18:51,359 –> 00:18:55,839
two hundred and fifty five abductees. Some did not believe.
294
00:18:56,160 –> 00:19:00,240
I believe my friends in the government believed. They said
295
00:19:00,519 –> 00:19:04,720
it will be a miracle. I said, this nation performs miracles.
296
00:19:05,119 –> 00:19:08,359
The Holy One, blessed be He helps a people who
297
00:19:08,480 –> 00:19:11,880
help themselves. We are a people who have learned to
298
00:19:11,960 –> 00:19:15,319
help ourselves because we knew that in times of distress,
299
00:19:15,599 –> 00:19:18,160
it is not certain that anyone else will help us.
300
00:19:18,960 –> 00:19:21,759
This was largely our fate in exile, with waves of
301
00:19:21,799 –> 00:19:28,200
antisemitism that kept returning, rising, returning, rising, and returning rising.
302
00:19:28,920 –> 00:19:31,880
What changed with the establishment of the State of Israel
303
00:19:32,119 –> 00:19:35,559
was not the disappearance of antisemitism, but our ability to
304
00:19:35,599 –> 00:19:39,599
repel the massacres and mass murders against Jews, which always
305
00:19:39,640 –> 00:19:44,839
followed numerous accusations, lies and insults. That is the change.
306
00:19:45,200 –> 00:19:49,319
Even today they try to murder, and sadly, even today
307
00:19:49,359 –> 00:19:54,640
they succeeded in murdering Jews. They massacred Jews in Sydney, Australia.
308
00:19:55,079 –> 00:19:57,720
Four months ago, I wrote a letter to the Prime
309
00:19:57,759 –> 00:20:05,039
Minister of Australia. Your policy encourages terrorism, it encourages antisemitism.
310
00:20:05,319 –> 00:20:08,440
You call for a Palestinian state, and you are essentially
311
00:20:08,480 –> 00:20:11,279
giving a prize to Hamas for the terrible massacre they
312
00:20:11,359 –> 00:20:16,000
carried out on October seventh. You are legitimizing all these rioters,
313
00:20:16,000 –> 00:20:18,400
and you are not lifting a finger to eliminate these
314
00:20:18,480 –> 00:20:23,160
terror hotspots. This will lead to more murders. He did nothing.
315
00:20:23,480 –> 00:20:26,960
We know there will be additional attacks. The safest place
316
00:20:27,000 –> 00:20:29,519
for the Jewish people in the world is where the government,
317
00:20:29,880 –> 00:20:33,319
the army and the security forces will defend them. That
318
00:20:33,480 –> 00:20:36,160
is first and foremost in the state of Israel, because
319
00:20:36,200 –> 00:20:40,480
we defend ourselves, and we defend ourselves with the help
320
00:20:40,519 –> 00:20:43,839
of the IDF, with the help of the security forces,
321
00:20:44,079 –> 00:20:46,359
and with the help of the brave male and female
322
00:20:46,400 –> 00:20:51,039
offices of the Israel Police, honored guests and friends, National
323
00:20:51,079 –> 00:20:55,160
Security Minister to Mar ben Jeeva, his wife Ayalah, the
324
00:20:55,200 –> 00:20:59,359
Police Inspector General, the command staff, and the academy graduates.
325
00:20:59,599 –> 00:21:02,599
You were on the first line of defense on October seventh.
326
00:21:03,279 –> 00:21:05,880
I do not forget that I was on the line,
327
00:21:05,880 –> 00:21:08,559
and I saw the line of the heroes and heroines,
328
00:21:08,920 –> 00:21:11,880
the female police officers who fought and fell, and the
329
00:21:11,880 –> 00:21:15,759
male police officers who fought and fell. A tremendous hero,
330
00:21:16,200 –> 00:21:19,559
ran Jevili simply fought until the last bullet, with a
331
00:21:19,599 –> 00:21:23,920
broken arm, but with an unwavering spirit. Somehow we returned
332
00:21:23,960 –> 00:21:27,519
to our land after the exile imposed upon us, and
333
00:21:27,640 –> 00:21:30,440
the first thing we had to renew was our capacity
334
00:21:30,480 –> 00:21:33,839
for self defense. This is what we have been doing
335
00:21:33,880 –> 00:21:37,319
over the past two years, with renewed vigor and great success.
336
00:21:38,160 –> 00:21:42,880
We essentially represent the free world, modern civilization against the
337
00:21:42,920 –> 00:21:45,680
barbarians who want to return us to the Middle Ages.
338
00:21:46,480 –> 00:21:49,119
That is what they want, and like in the days
339
00:21:49,160 –> 00:21:52,680
of the Maccabies, they hesitate the few against the many.
340
00:21:53,160 –> 00:21:55,559
We are a nation of about ten million against many,
341
00:21:55,920 –> 00:21:58,720
against the enemies who only recently fought us as two
342
00:21:58,880 –> 00:22:03,160
hundred million. True, they attacked us, they caused us an
343
00:22:03,240 –> 00:22:07,359
unbearable disaster on October seventh, but on October eighth it
344
00:22:07,440 –> 00:22:12,160
already turned around. We went and struck them clockwise, first
345
00:22:12,200 –> 00:22:16,359
in Gaza, then in Lebanon, then in Syria, also in Iraq,
346
00:22:16,640 –> 00:22:20,880
and above all in Iran. No one believed, No one
347
00:22:20,880 –> 00:22:23,480
believed in the miracles and wonders in those days and
348
00:22:23,559 –> 00:22:27,680
in this time. But we believed. You believe. I want
349
00:22:27,720 –> 00:22:31,839
to commend you Police Offices of Israel, continue to believe,
350
00:22:32,240 –> 00:22:36,240
continue to safeguard us and also safeguard one another. Thank
351
00:22:36,319 –> 00:22:39,000
you very much. On behalf of the people of Israel
352
00:22:39,039 –> 00:22:44,000
throughout the generations. Happy Harnkot to all of you. Australia
353
00:22:44,119 –> 00:22:47,480
Prime Minister Antony Albanese, in a post tweeted on his
354
00:22:47,599 –> 00:22:51,839
ex social media platform a few hours ago, said, in
355
00:22:51,960 –> 00:22:56,839
moments like this, we must come together. Australia stands united
356
00:22:56,920 –> 00:23:00,200
against hatred and terror. In numbers of tweed since the
357
00:23:00,240 –> 00:23:04,519
attack on Sunday, the Australia Prime Minister said tonight and
358
00:23:04,559 –> 00:23:08,000
over the coming days, we are holding the Jewish community close.
359
00:23:08,839 –> 00:23:12,119
For the Eid Nights of Harnaker. Jewish families around the
360
00:23:12,160 –> 00:23:15,599
world fill their windows with light, something that has been
361
00:23:15,640 –> 00:23:20,200
passed down through generations. Tonight I am lighting a candle
362
00:23:20,240 –> 00:23:25,359
in solidarity with the Australian Jewish community, because when antisemitism
363
00:23:25,400 –> 00:23:28,519
and hate rears its ugly head, we don’t shy away.
364
00:23:29,319 –> 00:23:33,079
We will confront the darkness with light. Together. Today I
365
00:23:33,200 –> 00:23:36,319
convene National Cabinet to respond to the act of terror
366
00:23:36,319 –> 00:23:40,319
and antisemitism in Bondai last night. We stand with Jewish
367
00:23:40,359 –> 00:23:44,839
Australians and we stand against hatred and violence. Australia is
368
00:23:44,880 –> 00:23:47,240
stronger than those who try to divide us, and we
369
00:23:47,319 –> 00:23:51,039
will come through this together. The dedication and commitment of
370
00:23:51,079 –> 00:23:54,720
police offices was on full display last night when off
371
00:23:54,799 –> 00:23:58,240
duty offices turned up to Bonday to help. They are
372
00:23:58,279 –> 00:24:01,599
the best of Australia. I received a briefing at Bondai
373
00:24:01,680 –> 00:24:05,079
Police Station and was able to thank many offices personally.
374
00:24:05,880 –> 00:24:08,200
Thank you to all our police for your courage and
375
00:24:08,240 –> 00:24:12,720
your service. Australia will not be divided by hate or violence.
376
00:24:13,240 –> 00:24:16,359
We will confront it head on and we will stand
377
00:24:16,400 –> 00:24:19,920
together in solidarity with Jewish Australians and with one another.
378
00:24:20,720 –> 00:24:24,039
Yesterday was a dark day in our nation’s history, but
379
00:24:24,079 –> 00:24:26,880
we are stronger than the cowards who did this. We
380
00:24:26,920 –> 00:24:30,599
refuse to let them divide us. Australia will never submit
381
00:24:30,640 –> 00:24:34,359
to division, violence or hatred, and we will come through
382
00:24:34,400 –> 00:24:38,400
this together. We had reported that not less than eleven persons,
383
00:24:38,440 –> 00:24:41,759
said to be mostly from the Jewish community and police offices,
384
00:24:41,799 –> 00:24:44,880
were shot dead by terrorists on Sunday at Bondi Beach
385
00:24:44,960 –> 00:24:48,759
in the Sydney city of Australia, as thousands came out
386
00:24:48,759 –> 00:24:52,440
to mark this year Harnaka or Hannaker Festival, a festival
387
00:24:52,480 –> 00:24:55,920
that is known as the Jewish Festival of Lights, usually
388
00:24:55,920 –> 00:24:59,400
an eight day winter celebration marking event of the rededication
389
00:24:59,599 –> 00:25:02,960
of the se Second Temple in Jerusalem and the miraculous
390
00:25:03,000 –> 00:25:06,880
long lasting oil supply, observed by lighting candles on a
391
00:25:06,920 –> 00:25:11,839
minora Charlukia and reciting special prayers and eating oily foods
392
00:25:12,039 –> 00:25:16,319
like lakers and seganiot, which symbolizes Jewish resilience and freedom.
393
00:25:16,640 –> 00:25:19,599
The terrorists attack the Jewish community on the first day
394
00:25:19,680 –> 00:25:23,599
of the festival after Israel government had on Saturday authorized
395
00:25:23,599 –> 00:25:26,920
the killing of a senior HAMAS commander Rad Sad, who
396
00:25:27,079 –> 00:25:30,039
Israel through a statement issued by the Office of the
397
00:25:30,039 –> 00:25:34,240
Prime Minister of Israel stated that in recent days Rad
398
00:25:34,319 –> 00:25:38,799
Sad had been engaged in rehabilitating the terrorist organization, planning
399
00:25:38,839 –> 00:25:42,119
and carrying out attacks against Israel and rebuilding an attack
400
00:25:42,240 –> 00:25:45,519
force in blatant violation of the cease fire rules and
401
00:25:45,559 –> 00:25:49,000
Hamas’s commitments to adhere to the U S. President Donald
402
00:25:49,039 –> 00:25:54,240
Trump’s plan, stating instead of promoting demilitarization, he was engaged
403
00:25:54,279 –> 00:25:58,160
in rearming for acts of terrorism. Although Israel government has
404
00:25:58,240 –> 00:26:02,200
not issued any statement since the Sunday attacks on Jewish
405
00:26:02,240 –> 00:26:04,960
community in Sydney as at the time of filing in
406
00:26:05,039 –> 00:26:08,480
this news report, on Sunday, but her mass in. A

news report published by Al Jazeera confirmed that t Sa’ad
408
00:26:12,119 –> 00:26:15,599
had since been killed by Israeli soldiers in the Gaza
409
00:26:15,680 –> 00:26:18,960
city of Palestine. One of the video footagers of the
410
00:26:19,039 –> 00:26:22,319
Sunday attack on the Jewish community in Sydney showed a
411
00:26:22,400 –> 00:26:25,640
moment an apparent very brave man disarmed one of the
412
00:26:25,680 –> 00:26:30,319
gunmen during the mass shooting, overpowered the suspected terrorists, collected
413
00:26:30,319 –> 00:26:33,160
the gun and turned the gun against the suspected terrorist
414
00:26:33,240 –> 00:26:36,799
without shooting him, and the suspect gets away then joins
415
00:26:36,839 –> 00:26:47,480
another suspected terrorist shooter who continues firing from a bridge.
416
00:26:47,839 –> 00:26:50,599
Not less than eleven persons, said to be mostly from

426
00:27:24,799 –> 00:27:28,759
symbolizes Jewish resilience and freedom. The terrorists attack the Jewish
427
00:27:28,759 –> 00:27:32,039
community on the first day of the festival after Israel
428
00:27:32,119 –> 00:27:35,519

00:29:49,519 –> 00:29:53,640
in the attack. An improvised explosive device was found in
465
00:29:53,680 –> 00:29:57,119
a car at Bondai which was linked to the deceased perpetrator.
466
00:29:57,839 –> 00:30:00,519
We will bring you the latest updates as we at them.
467
00:30:00,920 –> 00:30:03,720
The man who was seen in footage wrestling a firearm
468
00:30:03,839 –> 00:30:06,400
from one of the shooters at Bondi Beach has been
469
00:30:06,440 –> 00:30:09,759
praised as a genuine hero by the New South Wales
470
00:30:09,839 –> 00:30:15,000
state Premier, Christopher john Mins. The state Premier, Christopher Minns
471
00:30:15,079 –> 00:30:18,200
said at a press conference on Sunday that it’s the
472
00:30:18,200 –> 00:30:21,599
most unbelievable scene I’ve ever seen, a man walking up
473
00:30:21,640 –> 00:30:24,039
to a gunman who had fired on the community and
474
00:30:24,119 –> 00:30:27,680
single handedly disarming him, putting his own life at risk
475
00:30:27,799 –> 00:30:31,160
to save the lives of countless others. That man is
476
00:30:31,200 –> 00:30:33,599
a genuine hero and I’ve got no doubt that there
477
00:30:33,599 –> 00:30:36,440
are many many people alive to night as a result
478
00:30:36,480 –> 00:30:40,799
of his bravery. Christopher john Mins had in some hours
479
00:30:40,799 –> 00:30:44,400
before the attack, stated on his personal Facebook all that
480
00:30:44,799 –> 00:30:47,960
Harnackah is the festival of lights, and I know those
481
00:30:48,039 –> 00:30:50,359

opportunity to be with family and friends, light the Harnekah candles,
483
00:30:54,799 –> 00:30:59,440
sing traditional songs, and eat lakers and jam doughnuts. New
484
00:30:59,519 –> 00:31:02,680
South Wales has been the home for Jewish people ever
485
00:31:02,759 –> 00:31:05,960

and thank you for sharing your light with us here
488
00:31:13,920 –> 00:31:17,960
in New South Wales. Happy Harneker. The Office of the
489
00:31:18,000 –> 00:31:21,640
Prime Minister of Israel on Saturday published a joint statement
490
00:31:21,720 –> 00:31:24,920
by the Israeli Prime Minister and the Defense Minister, which
491
00:31:24,960 –> 00:31:29,000
read verbatim below, us in response to the detonation of
492
00:31:29,000 –> 00:31:32,440
a Hamas explosive device that wounded our forces today in
493
00:31:32,440 –> 00:31:36,039
the Yellow area of the Gaza Strip, Prime Minister Benjamin
494
00:31:36,119 –> 00:31:40,079
LETTANYAHUU and Defence Minister Israel Cats directed that the senior
495
00:31:40,119 –> 00:31:44,680
Hamas terrorist Rad Sad be eliminated. Saad was one of
496
00:31:44,720 –> 00:31:48,319
the architects of the October seventh massacre and in recent
497
00:31:48,440 –> 00:31:52,160
days had been engaged in rehabilitating the terrorist organization and
498
00:31:52,240 –> 00:31:55,680
in planning and carrying out attacks against Israel and rebuilding
499
00:31:55,680 –> 00:31:59,359
an attack force in blatant violation of the ceasefire rules
500
00:31:59,359 –> 00:32:03,920
and hamases commitments to adhere to President Trump’s plan. Instead
501
00:32:03,920 –> 00:32:08,119
of promoting demilitarization, he was engaged in rearming for acts
502
00:32:08,119 –> 00:32:12,400
of terrorism. Whoever raises his hand against Israel and harms
503
00:32:12,400 –> 00:32:15,599
IDF soldiers, his hand will be cut off in Gaza
504
00:32:15,640 –> 00:32:19,839
and everywhere else. On behalf of all the citizens of Israel,
505
00:32:20,200 –> 00:32:23,000
the Prime Minister and the Defense Minister wish a speedy
506
00:32:23,079 –> 00:32:27,759
recovery to our wounded fighters. Her Mass, according to Al Jazeera,
507
00:32:27,839 –> 00:32:31,200

508
00:32:31,240 –> 00:32:34,839
an Israeli strike in Gaza, in the highest profile assassination
509
00:32:34,960 –> 00:32:38,480
of a senior HERMAS figure since the October cease fire deal.
510
00:32:39,279 –> 00:32:42,759
In the wake of Israel’s continued violations, including the latest
511
00:32:42,759 –> 00:32:47,440
assassination of her Mass commander Rad Sad just yesterday, we
512
00:32:47,480 –> 00:32:50,920
call on the mediators, and especially the US administration and

U S President Donald Trump, as the main guaranteur of
514
00:32:54,240 –> 00:32:57,680
the agreement, to force Israel to respect the ceasefire deal
515
00:32:57,799 –> 00:33:00,960
and to implement it. Her Mass Gazad chief Khalil al
