In Sydney, Australia, thousands of mourners held a moment of silence Sunday evening to mark one week since a father and son opened fire on a Jewish festival marking the first day of Hannukah, killing 15 people and leaving dozens of others injured. This comes as Australian police say the attackers threw homemade bombs at a crowd at Bondi Beach before the mass shooting, but all four devices failed to detonate. Some members of the crowd on Sunday booed Prime Minister Anthony Albanese as he arrived at the commemoration, and again when his name was mentioned in a speech. Jewish leaders have called for a federal royal commission to investigate the Bondi Beach massacre, something Albanese has resisted. He’s instead backing a state-level royal commission. Mourners also cheered the heroism of Ahmed al-Ahmed, a bystander who was wounded after wrestling a gun from one of the Bondi Beach attackers. This is David Ossip, the president of the New South Wales Board of Jewish Deputies.

David Ossip: “And, friends, Ahmed has asked me to pass on the following message to us all: quote, 'The Lord is close to the broken-hearted. Today I stand with you, my brothers and sisters.' Thank you, Ahmed!”

In the wake of the shooting, lawmakers in the New South Wales state Parliament are debating an emergency set of laws to tighten gun laws. The legislation is expected to pass the upper house on Tuesday.
