AI Summary:
Israel President Isaac Herzog met victims’ families and survivors of the attack on a Jewish festival. Only one of the two alleged gunmen survived the following gunbattle with police. Naveed Akram has been charged with committing a terrorist act, murdering 15 people and wounding another 40. Sydney and Melbourne are Australia’s largest cities and home to 85% of the nation’s Jewish population. Protests are planned later Monday over how Israel has waged war in Gaza. Mainstream Jewish groups have welcomed the visit of Herzog, a former Labor Party leader. Police last week continued restrictions for another two weeks. Demonstrators risk arrest if they join a protest march late Monday. On Monday, Herzog said protests targeting him were mostly attempts to “undermine and delegitimize” Israel’s right to exist.
