Global surge in Iranian-linked terror plots against Jewish targets exposed by intelligence sources following the deadly Australian shooting attack.

Less than 48 hours after the deadly attack at Sydney's Bondi Beach that left more than a dozen dead, Australian authorities announced proposals for sweeping new gun laws.

The daughter of one of the victims of Sunday's Bondi Beach terror attack told CBS News on Monday that her father was "shot dead for being Jewish," and she now believes Australia is not a safe home for Jewish people.

SYDNEY (AP) — A father and son are suspected by officials to have killed 15 people on a popular Australian beach, shocking a country where gun violence is rare. The government on Monday, a day after the shootings, proposed tougher new gun laws amid criticism that officials didn’t take seriously enough a string of antisemitic attacks.

Two of Australia’s top lenders said on Tuesday they expect the Reserve Bank will return to interest-rate increases in February in order to tackle persistent price pressures in the economy.

The deadly terror attack at Bondi Beach in Sydney comes amid a significant spike in antisemitic rhetoric and attacks in Australia.

The two men who killed 15 people on Sunday were driven by “Islamic State ideology,” Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told Australia’s public broadcaster.

Australia’s consumer confidence slumped in December as the Reserve Bank indicated that its brief easing cycle has come to an end and there’s the potential for a return to interest-rate hikes in 2026.
