Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has decided against initiating a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the tragic terrorist attacks at Bondi Beach. Instead, he plans to conduct a more focused investigation.

Among those killed were a Holocaust survivor, rabbis and a ten-year-old girl.

The father was a member of a gun club and has had a recreational hunting license for over a decade, officials said. He was killed on the scene. Naveed was arrested and charged with 15 counts of murder.

Australia has incredibly stringent gun laws which were imposed following the 1996 Port Arthur mass shooting in Tasmania which killed 12 people.

Jewish groups and some lawmakers had called for an independent Royal Commission of Inquiry into the attacks.

“A Royal Commission is the only way we’re going to get the full picture of what happened on the weekend,” New South Wales Premier Chris Minns said.

The Australian state of New South Wales, where Bondi Beach is located, is planning to pass legislation that could ban the chant “globalize the intifada” at protests.

Albanese has been criticized for what some see as a lackluster response to antisemitism.
