Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has blamed the Australian Labor government’s backing of a U.N. resolution against Israel for opening the door for an arson attack targeting an ultra-orthodox Jewish synagogue.

Two people were injured and had to flee the Melbourne-based Adass Israel Synagogue on Dec. 6 after two masked assailants firebombed it.
