Australia has expelled the Iranian envoy, accusing Iran of orchestrating anti-Jewish attacks. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced that Australia will also designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist entity. Iran is accused of plotting attacks against the Jewish community in Sydney and Melbourne.
Albanese stated that the Iranian government was implicated in the attacks on the Louis Continental Kitchen in Sydney on October 20, last year, and the Adass Israel Synagogue in Melbourne on December 6. He cited intelligence information as the basis for this claim. Albanese described these attacks as attempts to undermine social cohesion and sow discord within Australia.
This action follows Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s criticism of Albanese, accusing him of betraying Israel and abandoning the Australian Jewish community. Netanyahu had stated on August 26 that history would remember Albanese as a weak leader.
