 "'Nations must stand together against radical Islamic terrorism': Trump after Bondi beach shooting")
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday urged countries around the world to unite against what he described as “radical Islamic terrorism”, as Australia prepares to hold funerals for those killed in a deadly attack at a Jewish festival in Sydney. His remarks came days after a mass shooting at a Hanukkah event left 15 people dead.
“All nations must stand together against the evil forces of radical Islamic terrorism, and we’re doing that,” Trump said while speaking at a White House Hanukkah reception.
Australia prepares to mourn victims
Australia will hold the first funerals on Wednesday for victims of the Bondi Beach mass shooting, with large crowds expected to gather to grieve two rabbis killed in the attack.
Authorities said Sajid Akram and his son Naveed opened fire at a Jewish festival at the popular surf beach on Sunday evening, killing 15 people and wounding dozens more. Among those killed were a 10-year-old girl, two Holocaust survivors, and a married couple who were shot dead as they attempted to stop the attack.
The first funeral service will be held for father-of-five Eli Schlanger, widely known as the “Bondi rabbi”, at Chabad of Bondi Synagogue. Schlanger served as a chaplain in prisons and hospitals, according to the Chabad movement’s website. The organisation, which represents a branch of Hasidic Jews, had organised the Bondi event.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the father-and-son attackers had been radicalised by an “ideology of hate”.
“It would appear that this was motivated by Islamic State ideology,” he told national broadcaster ABC on Tuesday.
