Israel and Australia

Australia and Israel share a rich and enduring history, a strong Judaeo-Christian heritage, and a growing economic relationship built on trade and innovation. At the same time, the Australian Jewish community has been a profound force for good in building the character, prosperity, and identity of our country.

 

Yet, at home and abroad, the scourge of antisemitism, terror and hate continues to put lives and livelihoods at risk. Australia has never faced an antisemitism crisis such as we are facing today. I am committed to combatting this antisemitism and rebuilding Australia’s relationship with Israel and the Jewish people.
