The Australian government's Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism Jillian Segal is calling for a tougher response to crack down on incidents targeting Jewish Australians, saying there has been a concerning rise in antisemitism in the last year. She also addressed the pro-Palestinian protest movement in cities and university campuses, calling for them to be restricted to certain times and places so as not to intimidate the Jewish community.
