Australia’s leading Jewish organisation has issued a rare public rebuke of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Anthony Albanese, as strained relations between the two countries worsened overnight.

There was an inconsistency in the policy of the Labor-led government, said Leibler, when it wasn’t willing to give entry to Rothman but was willing to accept relations with Abbas.

Australia’s peak Jewish body has written to Netanyahu to condemn his inflammatory attack of Albanese – who also received a letter about his heated language last week.

Australian Jewish Association says the government’s move to cancel visa of MK Simcha Rothman at the last minute is "viciously antisemitic," alleges the government is hostile to Jewish and Israeli visitors.

Australia has cancelled the visa of an Israeli lawmaker from prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu 's governing coalition who has advocated against Palestinian statehood and called for Israel to annex the occupied West Bank.

An Israeli politician has had his visa cancelled by the Albanese Government, just a day before he was set to arrive for events with the Jewish community.
