Protestors hold placards during a rally against antisemitism in Sydney, on February 18, 2024

THE Australian government named a special envoy today to confront a rise in anti-semitism since Israel invaded Gaza last October.

A similar envoy will soon be appointed to challenge Islamophobia and both also be tasked with promoting social cohesion, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told reporters at the Sydney Jewish Museum.

He appointed Sydney lawyer and business executive Jillian Segal as “special envoy to combat anti-semitism in Australia” for three years.
