SYDNEY: Sydney police used pepper spray on protesters on Monday as a rally against a visit to Australia by Israel’s President Isaac Herzog turned violent. The head of state’s tightly secured, four-day visit was aimed at consoling Australia’s Jewish community in the wake of the December shooting at Sydney’s Bondi Beach that killed 15 people at a Hanukkah festival. But he was met with protests in Australia’s two largest cities on Monday evening, with a Sydney rally turning violent as police hit protesters and members of the media, including AFP, with pepper spray.

Isaac Herzog to commemorate Bondi Beach mass shooting victims, but activists say he shouldn't escape scrutiny over Gaza.
