The Israel Security Agency’s director David Zini recently warned that Hamas is rearming and considering another major terrorist attack or the kidnapping of soldiers on the nation’s borders. Zini has told Israel’s Security & Diplomatic Council that Hamas is preparing to stage such an attack during or after the nation’s upcoming elections. Meanwhile, Australia’s Foreign Minister Penny Wong has marked the third anniversary of the 7 October attack on Israel by stating that the nation is "unequivocal" in its condemnation of Hamas and its ongoing acts of terror. Th the Executive Council of Australian Jewry’s co-CEO Alex Ryvchin in turn says Labor’s recognition of Palestinian statehood had been a "windfall" for Hamas.

Israeli’s President Isaac Herzog visited the Bondi Pavilion on Monday, where he laid a wreath and stones that he had brought from Jerusalem and met survivors of the Bondi Beach terrorist attack and relatives of the 15 victims. He expressed frustration that more was not done to address anti-Semitism in the lead-up to the terrorist attack, and warned that "hatred that starts with the Jews never ends with the Jews". Herzog added that the rise of anti-Semitism is a global emergency, and said that "we must all act to fight against it". Herzog also accused pro-Palestinian protesters of seeking to undermine Israel’s existence, and stressed that his country did not seek the war with Hamas that began with the attack on Israel on 7 October 2023.

The Australian Federal Police will investigate a series of graffiti attacks in Melbourne that praised Hamas on the second anniversary of its terrorist attack on Israel. Amongst other things, a billboard in Fitzroy was vandalised with the phrase "Glory to Hamas", Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said that defacing a billboard with terrorist propaganda is abhorrent, and those responsible must face the full force of the law. Israel’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel has urged Albanese and Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan to take swift action in response to the vandalism, while former federal treasurer Josh Frydenberg says the two leaders must end the violence and hatred directed at Jewish Australians. Meanwhile, about 100 people attended a demonstration organised by the Free Palestine Coalition in the Melbourne CBD to mark the anniversary.
