: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Sunday called a deliberately lit fire in a Melbourne synagogue an act of “terrorism” and warned about the “worrying rise in anti-Semitism” in Australia.
Australian police -- who determine whether an incident is a terrorist act -- will meet Monday to see if the fire meets the official criteria, as they continue to hunt down the two arsonists.Conservative politicians and Jewish groups have criticised Albanese’s government for what they say is a failure to call out anti-Semitism.
New Zealand, Britain, and Canada were among 157 countries voted for the resolution, with eight against.
