Debate in Australia on banning Israeli president’s entry

Calls are intensifying to prevent Israeli President Isaac Herzog from entering Australia, as the Greens Party moved a Senate motion urging Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to revoke his invitation for a visit next week.

Herzog’s visit follows a recent attack in Bondi Beach, and authorities have extended protest restrictions in anticipation of demonstrations against him.
