Australia Says Bondi Review to Check if Terror Attack Could Have Been Averted

Summary:
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced an independent review into law enforcement agencies following the mass shooting at a Jewish Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach, Sydney, which killed 15 people. The review will evaluate whether existing laws or information gaps prevented authorities from acting against the attackers, a father and son allegedly inspired by ISIS. Families of the victims have called for a royal commission to investigate antisemitism and potential intelligence failures, but Albanese has resisted this, citing the lengthy duration of such inquiries. The review's findings are expected by April, after which Parliament will consider any necessary legislative changes.

Scripture: Psalm 10:17-18
"O LORD, Thou hast heard the desire of the humble; Thou wilt strengthen their heart, Thou wilt incline Thine ear to vindicate the orphan and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may cause terror no more."
Commentary:
Violence targeting the Jewish community, even far from Israel, echoes an ancient pattern of hostility the Bible does not ignore. Security reviews help, but families feeling this loss know that legal fixes can't erase pain or fear. It's clear that those driven by hate, whether inspired by global terror or local prejudice, act out the same oppression Scripture identifies. These outbreaks of antisemitism signal a larger prophetic reality—a world still marked by spiritual opposition and growing hostility toward God’s chosen people.
Prophetic Trend:
Rising violence and antisemitism against Jews abroad points to intensifying global opposition that Scripture warns will characterize the days before Messiah’s return.
