The Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop defended Australia’s decision to vote with the USA at the UN’s Human Rights Council, against a resolution calling for an investigation of Israel’s actions regarding the shootings of Palestinians on the border with Gaza. Australian Jews expressed their disappointment over yet another two week delay in the extradition court hearing in Israel of Malka Leifer, the former Adass-Israel school principal wanted in Victoria to stand trial over 74 accusations of sexual abuse of pupils at the school before her flight to Israel in 2008. A 26 year old Jewish woman was stabbed in the neck and face and her 22 year old brother beaten over the head by a man in Nth Caulfield on the eve of the Shavuot festival, an attack which the police has as yet not treated as anti-Semitic in nature.
