‘The report’s credibility is undermined by its failure to address the issue of radical Islamist extremism,’ said the Australian Jewish Association.

The Royal Commission’s interim report into the Bondi Beach terror attack has been criticised for not devoting enough attention to “Islamic extremism.”

The report, released on April 30, makes only a passing reference to the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas and their global ripple effects, noting a rise in anti-Semitism in Australia and globally.
