Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has issued a strong apology to the Jewish community after a deadly ISIS-inspired attack targeting a Jewish festival in Sydney killed 15 people. Speaking in Canberra, Albanese said he felt a deep responsibility for the atrocity and vowed that his government would not let terrorists divide Australian society. He announced proposed new laws to crack down on hate preaching, violent extremism, and prohibited hate organisations, including tougher penalties and expanded visa cancellation powers. The government says these measures aim to strengthen national security and protect all Australians from terror-driven violence.
