Sajid Akram and Naveed Akram have been identified as the father and son who allegedly opened fire on a Hanukkah event at Bondi Beach in Sydney, according to a briefing distributed to U.S. law enforcement and reviewed by ABC News.
Sajid Akram, 50, and Naveed Akram, 24, allegedly stood on an overpass bridge near the event and shouted "Allahu Akbar" as they carried out the massacre, according to the briefing...
Australian law enforcement determined that "the suspects had pledged allegiance to ISIS," according to the briefing obtained by ABC News, and "Naveed was previously investigated in 2019 due to possible ties to a Sydney-based ISIS-linked cell."
Australia is now grieving the 15 victims killed, who range in age from 10 to 87, the NSW Joint Counter Terrorism Team said.

In Wake of Hanukkah Massacre in Sydney, Netanyahu Blames Australian Prime Minister for Fostering an Environment of Antisemitism.
December 15, 2025.
Latest Developments.
- Albanese’s Policies ‘Encouraging Antisemitism’: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reminded his Australian counterpart, Anthony Albanese, of an earlier warning “that the Australian government’s policy was promoting and encouraging antisemitism in Australia.” Speaking in the aftermath of the December 14 massacre at a Hanukkah celebration on Sydney’s Bondi Beach, which left at least 15 people dead and dozens more injured, Netanyahu said that the Australian government’s policies, particularly its recognition of a Palestinian state in September, “pours fuel on the antisemitic fire, rewards Hamas terror, emboldens those who menace Australian Jews and encourages the Jew hatred now stalking your streets.” Albanese rejected the allegation, saying that “overwhelmingly, most of the world recognizes a two-state solution as the way forward in the Middle East.”
- Shooters Traveled to ISIS Hotspot: Just weeks before the attack, the alleged shooters, father and son Sajid Akram, 50, and Naveed Akram, 24, reportedly visited the Philippines, home to the Islamic State of East Asia terrorist organization. Australia’s Joint Counter Terrorism Team discovered two improvised explosive devices and an ISIS flag inside the shooters’ vehicle parked near Bondi Beach. Despite the Australian authorities having investigated Naveed Akram for ties to terrorist organizations in October 2019, Albanese claimed that an “assessment was made that there was no indication of any ongoing threat or threat of him engaging in violence.”
- Trump Calls Attack ‘Purely Antisemitic’: President Donald Trump told American Jews to “celebrate proudly” in the wake of the massacre, calling it a “purely antisemitic attack.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the attacks, emphasizing that “antisemitism has no place in this world.” Australia’s head of state, King Charles III, stated that he was “ appalled and saddened by the most dreadful antisemitic terrorist attack,” calling on Australians “to rally together in unity and resolve.”

When ‘Context’ Becomes Complicity — The Language That Incited the Bondi Beach Massacre.
December 15, 2025.
by Micha Danzig
On Sunday, a Chabad Hanukkah candle-lighting at Bondi Beach was turned into a massacre. At least 16 people are dead. Witnesses report that the terrorists shouted “Allahu Akbar” between bursts of gunfire. What should have been a moment of communal joy became a scene of mass murder, carried out in full view of a society that has spent years purposefully ignoring antisemitic incitement and terror attacks that led to this moment.
Around the same time, elsewhere in Australia, the same moral failure surfaced again. On a Melbourne tram, an Australian woman verbally accosted a rabbi and his two children, aged eight and 14, telling them to “go to the gas chambers.” She was carrying a bag bearing the PLO flag. A Jewish father and his children were told, in public, to imagine their extermination.
And that was after “protesters” in Sydney chanted “gas the Jews” — with absolutely no consequences.
“Go to the gas chambers.” There is no metaphor here. No policy critique. No political argument hiding behind rhetoric. There is only genocidal hatred, delivered calmly and directly.
And yet anyone familiar with the pattern already knows what comes next. Not moral clarity, but “context.” Not unambiguous condemnation, but explanation.
We will be told about anger, about trauma, about spillover from Israel’s war with Hamas. We are reminded that emotions are high, tensions are inflamed, and nothing can be viewed in isolation.
This is not analysis. It is evasion.
This is the anti-Zionism exception.
In any other context, this kind of mass murder would end the conversation. No editor would ask what provoked it. No official would suggest it must be understood through global politics. No journalist would hesitate to call the racism exactly what it is. And don’t forget that before the State of Israel was created, one third of the entire global Jewish population was murdered for their religion. But now we’re going to be told that this is only happening because of Israel.
When the targets are Jews, and when the hatred can be draped in the language or symbols of the Palestinian cause, the rules change. Antisemitism becomes negotiable. Murderous language becomes expressive speech. The victims become abstractions.
This is why anti-Zionism has become the dominant framework through which antisemitism is excused in the modern West. Zionism is the belief that Jews, like any other people, have the right to collective self-determination and national survival through sovereignty in part of their indigenous and historical homeland. To deny that right uniquely to Jews — while granting it to every other people — is not a policy disagreement. It is a moral inversion that recasts Jewish survival itself as illegitimate.
For years, Australia, like much of the democratic West, has tolerated rhetoric that would be unthinkable if directed at any other group.
Crowds have chanted “gas the Jews” and many other murderous slogans with no consequence. Universities have hosted speakers who portray Jewish sovereignty as a unique moral crime. Media outlets have repeatedly softened or obscured antisemitic incidents — like burning synagogues — treating them as political reactions rather than as hatred with a long and documented history.
Law enforcement responses have been hesitant and inconsistent, often focused on crowd control instead of stopping incitement.
In England, Jews wearing yarmulkes and Stars of David have been arrested for “provocation,” while standing before crowds chanting “Globalize the Intifada,” “Hamas, Hamas, Jews to the Gas,” and “Khaybar, Khaybar ya Yahud” — an explicit invocation of the massacre of Jews in seventh-century Arabia.
This matters because antisemitism does not operate like other hatreds. It has always depended on permission structures. It advances not only through violence, but through ideas that render violence against Jews intelligible, justifiable, and even necessary to those inclined to act.
When genocidal slogans are tolerated in public space, when Jewish identity is reframed as provocation, when Jewish self-determination is condemned as uniquely evil, and when hatred is endlessly contextualized rather than condemned, the distance between speech and action collapses.
What happened at Bondi Beach was 100% predictable. A slogan shouted yesterday becomes gunfire today. The targets were not symbols or states or abstractions. They were Jews lighting candles.
The media plays a central role in this process, whether it admits it or not. Language is softened. Headlines are hedged. Victims are pushed to the margins of their own stories. A massacre becomes an “incident.” A threat of extermination becomes “heated rhetoric.” Jewish presence itself is recast as a political act that invites response.
This is how a Hanukkah celebration becomes a “flashpoint.” This is how a rabbi and his children become “part of a broader conflict.” This is how Jews going about their lives in Sydney, London, or New York are quietly reassigned responsibility for the hatred directed at them.
Some will insist that Bondi Beach and the Melbourne tram were isolated events. They never are. Antisemitism has never announced itself first with bullets. It begins with the libels societies allow to circulate. It begins when calls for violence against Jews — “Globalize the Intifada,” “Hamas, Hamas, Jews to the Gas” — are treated as political opinions rather than warnings.
A culture that cannot draw a red line at “go to the gas chambers” has already erased the line entirely.
Bondi Beach was not unforeseeable. It was foretold — in slogans excused, in threats contextualized, in hatred endlessly rebranded as politics. The massacre did not appear without warning. It appeared after years of permission.

From coverage to carnage: How incitement against Israel turned deadly.
Opinion: Sustained antisemitic incitement, amplified by Western media and academia while downplaying Hamas’ genocidal ideology, has helped fuel deadly attacks against Jews in Washington, Manchester and Sydney
Ben-Dror Yemini|12.16.25
The recognition of a Palestinian state, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, led to the murderous attack in Sydney. Albanese flatly rejected the claim and, in this case, he is right. And this may be the only claim related to the attack in which he is right, because Israel has also recognized a Palestinian state. That is, Netanyahu’s Israel. Not once, but again and again. So is Netanyahu to blame for previous attacks?
There are far more serious accusations to be made against Australia and against all the countries of the free world. Yes, they too bear responsibility for murder. Yes, they too gave tacit approval to masses of rioters, consumed by burning hatred, to run amok in the streets of every Western city. They are guilty, and Israel is guilty as well, of allowing obscene propaganda produced by the antisemitic campaign to dominate front-page headlines.

Iranians take to social media to show support for Jews, Israel after Bondi Beach terror shooting
“This regime is the root cause of global terror and instability,” one user wrote, as others called for the implementation of the Cyrus Accords and for Israel to destroy the regime.
By Shir Perets. December 15, 2025 10:02
Many Iranians took to social media to express their support for Israel and the Jewish community with the hashtag #IraniansStandWithIsrael following the Bondi Beach terror attack, where 15 people were murdered, and dozens more were injured at a Hanukkah party on Sunday.
“This regime is the root cause of global terror and instability,” one user wrote on X/Twitter, as others called for the implementation of the Cyrus Accords and for Israel to destroy the regime.
“Light triumphs over darkness, and the hearts of we Iranians across the world are with you, my Jewish friend,” another user wrote, sharing a photo of two women draped in the Israeli and Iranian dresses.
Son of regime member shared antisemitic message hours before Sydney attack.
Ahmad Ghadiri Abyaneh, the son of Iran’s former ambassador to Australia, Mohammad-Hassan Ghadiri Abyaneh, posted an antisemitic message on X just hours before the event, where he labeled Hanukkah celebrations as a “platform for satanic rituals of Masonic circles” and called for “defense.”
“Every breath of these illegitimate offspring tied to the wretched Islamic Republic regime reeks of blood,” one user responded.
“Global security means the downfall of this satanic terrorist regime… #IraniansStandWithIsrael.”
Officials were also probing links to Hezbollah, Hamas, and Pakistani-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, which is connected to al-Qaeda.

Iranians take to social media to show support for Jews, Israel after Bondi Beach terror shooting
Iranians Turn on Tehran After Chanukah Horror in Australia.
December 15, 2025
In the aftermath of the deadly Bondi Beach terror attack, Iranians – many of them longtime critics of their own government – are publicly expressing solidarity with Israel and the global Jewish community.
Under the hashtag #IraniansStandWithIsrael, users on X and other platforms posted messages mourning the victims of Sunday’s Chanukah celebration shooting in Sydney, where 15 people were killed and dozens wounded, while casting the Islamic Republic as a common enemy.
“This regime is the root cause of global terror and instability,” one user wrote, echoing a theme that appeared repeatedly across posts. Others called for the implementation of the so-called Cyrus Accords — a symbolic framework for Iranian-Israeli rapprochement after regime change — and openly urged Israel to confront or dismantle Iran’s leadership.
The online surge is notable not just for its volume but for its political framing. Rather than treating the attack as an isolated act of violence, many Iranian users folded it into a broader indictment of Tehran’s regional influence, tying the massacre to Iran’s support for terrorist groups across the Middle East.
“Light triumphs over darkness,” one post read, accompanied by an image of two women draped in Israeli and Iranian attire. “The hearts of we Iranians across the world are with you, my Jewish friend.”
The moment has also revived scrutiny of Iran-linked rhetoric closer to the attack itself. Ahmad Ghadiri Abyaneh — the son of Iran’s former ambassador to Australia — posted an antisemitic message on X just hours before the shooting, describing Chanukah celebrations as a “platform for satanic rituals of Masonic circles” and calling for “defense.”
Israeli officials, meanwhile, are probing whether the Iranian regime had any operational role. Shortly after the shooting, Israeli authorities opened an investigation into possible Iranian involvement, according to officials familiar with the matter. A senior U.S. official told Fox News that if evidence emerges showing the Islamic Republic ordered or directed the attack, Washington would recognize Israel’s right to strike Iran in response.
Security agencies are also examining potential links to Iran-backed or aligned groups, including Hezbollah and Hamas, as well as Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, a militant organization with historical ties to al-Qaeda.
The online reaction from Iranians reflects a deeper political paradox confronting Tehran: while the regime positions itself as the vanguard of “resistance” against Israel, a growing segment of the Iranian public — particularly in the diaspora — increasingly identifies Israel as a counterweight to what they view as an illegitimate and violent ruling system.
“Global security means the downfall of this satanic terrorist regime,” one user wrote. “#IraniansStandWithIsrael.”

More US police patrols at Jewish sites, ‘abundance of caution’ cited after Sydney attack
“They usually do this during these times,” the CEO of a private security company told JNS. “Then they go back to being complacent like normal.”

(Dec. 15, 2025 / JNS)
Following the deadly terror attack at a Chanukah event in Bondi Beach in Sydney on Sunday, law enforcement agencies across the United States said that there were no known local threats but that they were increasing patrols and visibility around Jewish institutions and events.
In Montgomery County, Md., which has a large Jewish community, Marc Elrich, the Washington-area county executive, said that he heard from local Jews, who are “shaken and concerned.”
“I want them to know that their safety is a priority,” he stated. “Out of an abundance of caution, the Montgomery County Police Department has increased patrols at synagogues and at Chanukah-related events across the county.”
Carmine Marceno, sheriff of Lee County, Fla., stated that “in light of recent events,” the county “increased patrols and visibility in and around Jewish communities and gathering areas as a precaution.” And Santa Monica, Calif., said that its police department, “out of an abundance of caution,” had “increased patrols and officer presence at Jewish places of worship and community celebrations throughout the city to provide visibility and reassurance.”

(Dec. 15, 2025 / JNS)
Federal agents arrested five members of an extremist, pro-Palestinian group who were plotting to carry out coordinated bombing attacks in Los Angeles and New Orleans on New Year’s Eve, FBI director Kash Patel said on Monday.
“They had everything they needed to make an operational bomb,” Bill Essayli, assistant U.S. attorney for the Central District of California, said at a press conference on Monday. “We disrupted this terror plot before buildings were demolished or innocent people were killed.”
Essayli added that the defendants aimed to detonate “complex pipe bombs” at “multiple companies” at the same time. They also sought to conduct the attacks without leaving a trace, he said.
He named the defendants, all from the Los Angeles area, as Audrey Carroll, 30; Zachary Aaron Page, 32; Dante Gaffield, 24; and Tina Lai, 41. All were also part of a group called the Order of the Black Lotus. At the home of one of the defendants was a sign stating “long live Palestine,” Essayli said.
Patel, the FBI director, stated that “the subjects self-identified as members of a radical offshoot of the Turtle Island Liberation Front, an extremist group motivated by pro-Palestinian, anti-law-enforcement and anti-government ideology.”

Rachel Goldberg-Polin, whose son, Hirsch Goldberg-Polin, was brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists after being held hostage for nearly a year, has found a unique way to mourn and remember him this Hanukkah. In an intensely emotional post shared online, she revealed a simple, hand-crafted menorah made from paper cups, stating this raw, humble creation will replace all her treasured heirlooms.
Hirsch Goldberg-Polin was murdered alongside five other hostages in the Gaza Strip in August 2024. He was abducted from the Re'im music festival on October 7, 2023, after losing part of his arm in a grenade blast. His unwavering spirit and his parents' tireless advocacy made him one of the most recognizable faces of the hostage crisis.
