澳大利亚犹太领袖称其社群是海外最亲锡安主义者之一，赴以色列旅行的比例高于多数其他社群，也更常在以色列有亲友；在12月14日邦迪海滩恐袭后，部分领袖要求政府邀请以色列总统伊萨克·赫尔佐格同行哀悼。赫尔佐格将于2月8日抵澳并预计直赴邦迪，官方以安全为由披露甚少，但此行在经历超过两年亲以与亲巴对立的国家里再度引发争议。
新南威尔士州州长克里斯·明斯表示，为维护公共安全并协助犹太社群哀悼，州政府将在总统来访期间禁止悉尼大部分地区的抗议；邦迪袭击后仓促通过的新法允许在恐袭后最长90天内禁止示威。相关法律的合宪性挑战正进入法院程序但将在来访后审理，而一个亲巴团体仍计划游行至州议会，警方正为冲突做准备。
争议也将延伸至议会：至少两名州工党后座议员拟加入游行，联邦议会也有多名议员质疑邀请，提及赫尔佐格在近期战争初期曾在一枚将投向加沙的炸弹上签名。此行考验总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯的工党政府：他在12月21日邦迪纪念活动上遭嘘声，内塔尼亚胡随后将袭击与阿尔巴尼斯9月承认巴勒斯坦国的决定相联系；与此同时，袭击后的立法分歧引爆由两党组成的中右翼联盟，并推动民粹右翼“一国党”在民调中升至仅次于工党。
Australian Jewish leaders say their community is among the most Zionist in the diaspora, with travel to Israel at a higher rate than most others and more family ties there; after the Bondi Beach terrorist attack on December 14, some asked the government to invite Israel’s President Isaac Herzog to mourn with them. Herzog arrives on February 8 and is expected to go straight to Bondi, and while officials cite security for saying little, the visit has reignited controversy in a country strained by more than two years of pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian conflict.
New South Wales premier Chris Minns says protests will be banned across much of Sydney during the visit to protect public safety and support grieving, using new laws rushed through after the Bondi attack that allow bans for up to 90 days after terrorism. A constitutional challenge will be heard after the visit, but a pro-Palestinian group plans to march to the state parliament anyway, and police are bracing for confrontation.
Contention is also shifting to legislators: at least two state Labor backbenchers plan to join the march, and several federal MPs object to the invitation, citing Herzog’s early-war act of signing a bomb to be dropped on Gaza. The trip tests Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s Labor government after he was booed at a Bondi memorial on December 21 and after Netanyahu linked the attack to Albanese’s September recognition of a Palestinian state, while the post-attack backlash has fractured the two-party centre-right opposition coalition and helped lift the populist-right One Nation party to second place behind Labor in opinion polls.
