Australia has launched public hearings into the deadly attack at Bondi Beach, as part of a broader national inquiry examining rising antisemitism across the country.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle met survivors of the Bondi Beach attack on Friday, the final day of their four-day visit to Australia, in a highly emotional engagement focused on victims, first responders and community recovery.

Australia's Royal Commission on Anti-Semitism and Social Cohesion, established following the Bondi Beach attack in December, commenced its official hearings on Tuesday.

Naveed Akram, the man accused of carrying out the deadly Bondi Beach terror attack, appeared in a Sydney court on Monday after being formally charged with 59 offenses linked to the fatal mass shooting.

Australia’s proposed hate speech and gun control reforms are facing resistance from multiple parties, raising doubts about whether the legislation can pass Parliament next week.

Naveed Akram, the alleged Bondi Beach gunman, has been transferred to Goulburn Supermax Prison in the New South Wales Southern Tablelands.

Australian police say the two men accused of carrying out a deadly shooting at a Jewish Hanukkah celebration on Sydney’s Bondi Beach acted alone and were not part of a wider militant cell.
